zidonians in Smith's Bible Dictionary
the inhabitants of Zidon. They were among the nations of Canaan; left to give the Israelites practice in the art of war, #Jud 3:3| and colonies of them appear to have spread up into the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephothmaim, #Jos 13:4,6| whence in later times they hewed cedar trees for David and Solomon. #1Ch 22:4| They oppressed the Israelites on their first entrance into the country, #Jud 10:12| and appear to have lived a luxurious, reckless life. #Jud 18:7| They were skillful in hewing timber, #1Ki 5:8| and were employed for this purpose by Solomon. They were idolaters, and worshipped Ashtoreth as their tutelary goddess, #1Ki 11:5,33; 2Ki 23:13| as well as the sun-god Baal from whom their king was named. #1Ki 16:31|
