Nethinims.
Ezra 7:7• 7And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king. (Ezra 7:7)

1 Kings 9:21• 21Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day. (1 Kings 9:21)
• We read that Solomon levied “a tribute of bond-service unto this day” of the children of the Amorites, and so forth that were left in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy (1 Kings 9:19-21)....the least connection with the Lord’s people and the Lord’s things becomes a means of blessing. (“Ezra 2” by E. Dennett)
• Interestingly, neither the Nethinim (meaning the given ones) nor the children of Solomon’s servants are believed to be Israelites; they were probably Gentiles. These, however, do not appear to be numbered with those who could not show their genealogy. Though the children of Israel were under law, God has acted in all dispensations in grace towards any that seek after Him. (“A Remnant Company - Ezra 2:3-70” by N. Simon)
