Perizzites
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Villagers; dwellers in the open country, the Canaanitish nation inhabiting the fertile regions south and south-west of Carmel. "They were the graziers, farmers, and peasants of the time." They were to be driven out of the land by the descendants of Abraham (Genesis 15:20; Exodus 3:8,17; 23:23; 33:2; 34:11 ). They are afterwards named among the conquered tribes (Joshua 24:11 ). Still lingering in the land, however, they were reduced to servitude by Solomon (1 Kings 9:20 ). Copyright Statement
