Joshua 2:3

Come to thee. The king of Jericho apparently thought that the spies had not only come for lodging (“entered into thine house”) but also to visit Rahab personally. Now she must choose between her country and her conscience. Whether the spies had as yet had time or opportunity to tell her about their God, we do not know, but with whatever light she did have she made the momentous decision to cast her lot with God’s people. Following the words “come to thee” both the Septuagint and the Syriac add, “during the night,” suggesting that it was dark when they entered. The Holy Spirit had been impressing Rahab’s heart, and apparently led them to her house, even as He leads God’s messengers to homes that are looking for light today.
