<p> <strong> | <p> <strong> HIVITES </strong> . One of the tribes of [[Palestine]] which the [[Israelites]] displaced ( Exodus 3:8; Exodus 3:17 [J [Note: Jahwist.] ]). Our oldest source (J [Note: Jahwist.] ) says that they were the people who, fearing to meet the Israelites in battle, by a ruse made a covenant with them ( Joshua 9:7 ). A Deuteronomic editor states that their villages were Gibeon, Chephira, Kiriath-jearim, and [[Beeroth]] ( Joshua 9:17 ). [[Gibeon]] was six miles N. W. of Jerusalem, and Beeroth ten miles N. of it. Probably, therefore, they inhabited a region north of Jerusalem. [[Genesis]] 34:2 (P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] ) makes the [[Shechemites]] Hivites, but this is of doubtful authority. The main part of the chapter is silent on this point. In Joshua 11:3 and Judges 3:3 they seem to be located near Hermon in the Lebanon, but ‘Hivite’ is probably here a corruption of ‘Hittite’ (cf. Moore, <em> Judges </em> , p. 79). Deuteronomic editors introduce [[Hivites]] often in their list of [[Canaanitish]] peoples, usually placing them before Jebusites. Perhaps this indicates that they lived near Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 24:7 , though vague, is not inconsistent with this. Some have supposed <em> [[Hivite]] </em> to mean ‘villager,’ but the etymology is most uncertain. Really nothing is known of their racial affinities. </p> <p> [[George]] A. Barton. </p> | ||

<p> '''Hivites, Land of the''' (''Hî'Vîtes'' ), A region in Canaan, along the coast of the Mediterranean, peopled by some of the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. Genesis 10:17; 1 Chronicles 1:15. On Jacob's return to Canaan, Shechem was in possession of the Hivites, [[Hamor]] the Hivite being the "prince of the land." Genesis 34:2. They voluntarily surrendered their country to Joshua. Joshua 9:7; Joshua 11:19. The main body of the Hivites were then living on the northern confines of western Palestine—"under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh," Joshua 11:3; "in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath." Judges 3:3. They paid tribute to Solomon. 1 Kings 9:20; 2 Chronicles 8:7. Their country appears to have been afterward absorbed by the surrounding nations. </p> | <p> '''Hivites, Land of the''' ( ''Hî'Vîtes'' ), A region in Canaan, along the coast of the Mediterranean, peopled by some of the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham.
