When the inhabitants of Gibeon heard about the destruction of Jericho and Ai, they were afraid and went out to trick the Israelites.

In Joshua 5.12 we read that manna stopped 2 days after the Passover. God had provided the miracle of manna for 40 years. However, after the Passover, the Israelites ate from the produce of the land. In the desert, there was no food, so manna was necessary. In the Promised Land, there was food available, so manna was not necessary.
