Concise Bible Dictionary
:
One of the races found early in
Palestine
: they were descendants of
Ham
through
Canaan
(
Gen. 10:17
17
And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, (Genesis 10:17)
).
Jacob
, on his return to Palestine, found
Shechem
occupied by the Hivites (
Gen. 34:2
2
And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her. (Genesis 34:2)
). They also possessed
Gibeon
, and found means to deceive
Joshua
into making a
league
with them (
Jos. 9:3, 7
3
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai, (Joshua 9:3)
7
And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you? (Joshua 9:7)
). They seemed to be more a commercial than a warlike people. We also find the Hivites in the
north
in mount
Lebanon
, and
Israel
was beguiled into making
marriage
contracts with them (
Judg. 3:3,5-6
3
Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath. (Judges 3:3)
5
And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
6
And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods. (Judges 3:5‑6)
). In the days of
Solomon
they were still in the land, and were made tributary to Israel (
1 Kings 9:20
20
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel, (1 Kings 9:20)
). Israel suffered through not carrying out the directions of
God
to cast out these and other inhabitants of the land. They were by them led into
idolatry
.
