Came to Joshua. The spies reported directly to Joshua (see on verse 1). He had probably learned a lesson from the time he with 11 others had been sent out from Kadesh-barnea, and 10 had returned with a discouraging report. He may have felt it wise for this reason to keep the mission of the two spies secret until he had received their report. Their message (see chapter 2:9-11, 23, 24) must have encouraged Joshua and the people to advance without delay across the Jordan and against Jericho.
