Dictionaries :: Hivites

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Hivites:

one of the original tribes scattered over Palestine, from Hermon to Gibeon in the south. The name is interpreted as "midlanders" or "villagers" (Gen 10:17; 1Ch 1:15). They were probably a branch of the Hittites. At the time of Jacob's return to Canaan, Hamor the Hivite was the "prince of the land" (Gen 24:2-28).

They are next mentioned during the Conquest (Jos 9:7; 11:19). They principally inhabited the northern confines of Western Palestine (Jos 11:3; Jdg 3:3). A remnant of them still existed in the time of Solomon (1Ki 9:20).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Hivites:

(villagers) The, descendants-the six in order- of Canaan the son of Ham (Genesis 10:17; 1 Chronicles 1:15). We first encounter the actual people of the Hivites at the time of Jacob's return to Canaan (Genesis 34:2). We next meet with the Hivites during the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 9:7; 11:19). The main body of the Hivites were at this time living in the northern confines of western Palestine- "under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh," (Joshua 11:3)-"in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entering in of Hamath." (Judges 3:3 compare 2 Samuel 24:7).
