Hivites
From BibleWiki
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; 1Chr 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 (Josh 9:7; 11:19). They principally inhabited the northern confines of Western Palestine (Josh 11:3; Jdg 3:3). A remnant of them still existed in the time of Solomon (1 Kg 9:20).
