HIVITES.One of the tribes of Palestine which the Israelites displaced (Exo_3:8; Exo_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 (Jos_9:7). A Deuteronomic editor states that their villages were Gibeon, Chephira, Kiriath-jearim, and Beeroth (Jos_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. Gen_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 Jos_11:3 and Jdg_3:3 they seem to be located near Hermon in the Lebanon, but Hivite is probably here a corruption of Hittite (cf. Moore, Judges, 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. 2Sa_24:7, though vague, is not inconsistent with this. Some have supposed Hivite to mean villager, but the etymology is most uncertain. Really nothing is known of their racial affinities.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Hebrew always in the singular = "midlanders" (Ewald), "villagers" (Gesenius). Their abode was about Hermon and Lebanon (Jos_11:3, "under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh"; Jdg_3:3, "from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath"); toward Tyre (2Sa_24:7), and Sichem or Shechem (Gen_34:11), and Gibeon (Jos_9:1; Jos_9:7). Descended from Ham (Gen_10:17). (See AVIM, with whom Septuagint identify them).
A warm, impulsive, unsuspicious people, as their readiness to accept the cunning proposition of Simeon and Levi shows; peaceful and commercial, more keen to gain cattle and wealth than to wage war, as the same story shows; as also that of Abimelech (Judges 8:33 - 9:53). The Shechemite idol Baalberith, "Baal of the covenant," was a god of peace not war. Their not revenging themselves on Jacob's family, as he feared, is another proof of their quiet spirit. The Gibeonite Hivites showed the same unwarlike spirit, with the additional element of craft wherewith they in their turn deceived Israel, as Jacob's sons had deceived their forefathers.

a people descended from Canaan, Gen_10:17. They are also mentioned, Deu_2:23. The inhabitants of Shechem, and the Gibeonites, were Hivites, Jos_11:19; Gen_34:2. Mr. Bryant supposes the Hivites to be the same as the Ophites, or ancient worshippers of the sun under the figure of a serpent; which was, in all probability, the deity worshipped at Baal-Hermon.

Among the many tribal groups that occupied Canaan before the Israelites dispossessed them were the people known as Hivites (Gen_10:15-17; Exo_3:8; Exo_23:28; Deu_7:1; Jos_3:10). They lived mainly in the mountain country of northern Palestine and Lebanon (Jos_11:3; Jdg_3:3; 2Sa_24:6-7), though some lived in Shechem and others as far south as Gibeon (Gen_34:2; Jos_9:3; Jos_9:7; Jos_11:19). They were among the many Canaanite tribal peoples used as slaves in Solomons building programs (1Ki_9:20-21). Like other Canaanite groups they were eventually absorbed into Israel.

Hi?vites, one of the nations of Canaan which occupied Palestine before the Israelites (Gen_10:17; Exo_3:8; Exo_3:17; Exo_23:23; Jos_3:10). They occupied the northern and north-eastern part of the country. In Jdg_3:3, it is stated that 'the Hivites dwelt in Mount Hermon, from Mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath;' and in Jos_11:3, the Hivites are described as living 'under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.' The 'cities of the Hivites' are mentioned in 2Sa_24:7, and, from being associated with Sidon and Tyre, must have been in the northwest. A remnant of the nation still existed in the time of Solomon, who subjected them to a tribute of personal labor, with the remnants of other Canaanitish nations which the Israelites had been unable to expel (1Ki_9:20). A colony of this tribe was also found in Northern Palestine, occupying the towns of Gideon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim: and these obtained from Joshua a treaty of peace by stratagem (Jos_9:3-17; Jos_11:19).
