Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
We are in thine hand - Entirely in thy power.

They expect justice, because they deceived the Israelites; but they expect mercy also, because they were driven to use this expedient for fear of losing their lives. The appeal to Joshua is full of delicacy and cogent argument.
