Joshua 7:22
"So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So Joshua sent messengers,.... Directly to Achan's tent, to see if it was as he had said, and to bring the things with them: and they ran unto the tent;

either for joy that the iniquity was discovered, as Kimchi; or that none of the tribe of Judah or of Achan's family or relations should get there before them, and take them from thence and make void the lot; so Jarchi, Ben Gersom, and Abarbinel; but, no doubt, it is remarked, to show the readiness and diligence of the messengers to obey the order of Joshua: and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it; as Achan had said.
