One of the races found early in Palestine: they were descendants of Ham through Canaan. Genesis 10:17 . Jacob, on his return to Palestine, found Shechem occupied by the Hivites. Genesis 34:2 . They also possessed Gibeon, and found means to deceive Joshua into making a league with them. Joshua 9:3,7 . 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. Judges 3:3,5,6 . In the days of Solomon they were still in the land, and were made tributary to 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.
