Contextual Overview
3 And the ones living in Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai. 4 And they acted slyly, and they went and acted like envoys, and took old sacks for their asses, and old wineskins, even torn and bound up; 5 and old and patched sandals on their feet; and old garments on them. And all their provision of bread was dry; it was crumbs. 6 And they went to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal. And they said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a distant land. And now cut a covenant with us. 7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps you are living in our midst, and how shall we cut a covenant with you? 8 And they said to Joshua, We are your servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are you? And from where do you come? 9 And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very distant land, because of the name of Jehovah your God, for we have heard of His fame, and all that He has done in Egypt. 10 Also what He has done to the two kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan, to Sihon the king of Heshbon, and to Og the king of Bashan who was in Ashtaroth. 11 And our elders and all the people of our land spoke to us, saying, Take provisions in your hand for the way, and go to meet them. And you shall say to them, We are your servants; and now, cut a covenant with us. 12 We provided ourselves with this hot bread out of our houses on the day we came out to go to you. And now, behold, it is dry and it is crumbs.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they went to Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal,.... From whence it appears, that after Jericho and Ai were destroyed, the army of Israel returned to their encampment at Gilgal, Joshua 5:10; and here they were when the Gibeonites applied to them:
and said unto him, and to the men of Israel; not to the whole body of the people, but either to the seventy elders, the great council, who were with Joshua, or the princes of the congregation, after mentioned, who are said to swear to them; and so some render the words, "to the chief men of Israel" l; the word "Ish" here used sometimes denotes an eminent person or persons, see Isaiah 2:9;
we be come from a far country; this lie they told, that they might not be thought to be inhabitants of Canaan, and be destroyed as those of Jericho and Ai were; and as the rest of the inhabitants would be, of which they had intelligence, as the design of the Israelites, and what their orders were; according to Jerom m, Gibeon was but four miles from Bethel, unless he means Gibeah; however, it could not be at a much greater distance; and as Gilgal was a mile and a quarter from Jericho, where the Gibeonites now were, and Ai but three miles from Jericho, and Bethel a mile from thence, and Gibeon four miles from Bethel, they were come but little more than nine miles. Bunting n makes it twelve miles from Gilgal to Gibeon:
now therefore make yea league with us; offensive and defensive, to help and assist each other against a common enemy.
l אל איש ישראל "primoribus viris Israelis", Junius Tremellius so Piscator. m De loc. Heb. fol. 92. A. n Travels, p. 96.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Camp at Gilgal - While Joshua was engaged in more distant enterprises, the women, children, and property of the Israelites were left with a sufficient guard at this place, where they had been established immediately after crossing the Jordan Joshua 5:9.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 9:6. Make ye a league with us. — כרתו לנו ברית kirethu lanu berith, cut, or divide, the covenant sacrifice with us. From this it appears that heathenism at this time had its sacrifices, and covenants were ratified by sacrificing to and invoking the objects of their adoration.
