From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

It was mere fear which drove the Gibeonites to act as they did. They sought for union with God’s people, not for its own sake, but to save their lives. Rahab’s motives were higher (Joshua 2:9ff). Hence, she was adopted into Israel; the Gibeonites remained forever bondsmen of Israel.
