Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - We will show thee mercy. Compare the saving of Rahab alive, with all her house, at the taking of Jericho (Joshua 6:23). This history is not preserved in the parallel place in Joshua 16.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) The spies.--Perhaps, rather, the scouts of the blockading squadron. The Israelites, like most ancient nations, were little able to take cities by storm, and relied either on blockade or on internal treachery.Saw a man come forth.--Probably he stole out secretly, and was seized by the scouts. Similarly the Persians took Sardis by seizing a path used by a man who had dropped his helmet, and descended the hill fortress to pick it up (Herod. i. 84).We will shew thee mercy.--They bribed him. with the promise of personal safety. (Compare Joshua 2:12; Joshua 2:6)
