Who are the Hivites?
HI'VITES
, a people descended from Canaan, Gen 10:17. When Jacob returned to the land of his fathers he found them settled there. One of them, Hamor, defiled Dinah, for which a speedy retribution was visited upon their city by Simeon and Levi, Gen 34:25. We again meet them at the conquest of Canaan, Josh 11:3, Josh 11:19. This people dwelt at this time in the north-western part of Palestine, under Mount Hcrmon, Josh 11:3, and in Mount Lebanon, Jud 3:3.
