id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading"><a href="/study/1_kings/9.htm">Berean Study Bible</a></div><b>As for all the people</b><br />This phrase introduces a specific group of individuals distinct from the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "people" here is "עַם" (am), which often denotes a community or nation. In the context of ancient Israel, this term underscores the collective identity of these groups, who were remnants of the original inhabitants of Canaan. Their presence in the land serves as a reminder of Israel's incomplete conquest and the ongoing challenge of maintaining covenant faithfulness amidst foreign influences.<p><b>who remained</b><br />The Hebrew root "יָתַר" (yatar) means "to remain" or "to be left over." This indicates that these people were survivors of the conquest of Canaan. Historically, this reflects the reality that not all Canaanite groups were completely driven out or destroyed, as commanded in earlier biblical texts. Their continued presence posed both a practical and spiritual challenge to Israel, as they were often a source of temptation towards idolatry and cultural assimilation.<p><b>of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites</b><br />These names represent specific ethnic groups that inhabited the land of Canaan before the arrival of the Israelites. Each group had its own distinct culture and religious practices. The Amorites and Hittites were known for their significant influence and power in the region. The Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, while perhaps less prominent, were integral to the Canaanite cultural landscape. Archaeological findings have provided insights into their societies, revealing a complex tapestry of city-states and tribal affiliations. The mention of these groups serves as a historical anchor, reminding readers of the diverse and often adversarial environment in which Israel was called to live out its covenant with God.<p><b>(the people who were not Israelites)</b><br />This parenthetical clarification emphasizes the distinction between the Israelites and the other inhabitants of the land. The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, who were chosen by God to be His covenant people. This distinction is crucial in understanding the biblical narrative, as it highlights the unique identity and calling of Israel to be a holy nation set apart for God's purposes. The presence of non-Israelite peoples in the land serves as a backdrop for the unfolding account of Israel's faithfulness—or lack thereof—to their divine mandate.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_kings/9.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(20) <span class= "bld">A tribute of bond service.</span>--This was probably not originated, but simply enforced and organised, by Solomon. It dated, in theory at least, from the Conquest. The most notable example of it is the case of the Gibeonites (<a href="/context/joshua/9-21.htm" title="And the princes said to them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.">Joshua 9:21-27</a>); but there are incidental notices of similar imposition of serfship in <a href="/judges/1-28.htm" title="And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.">Judges 1:28</a>; <a href="/judges/1-30.htm" title="Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelled among them, and became tributaries.">Judges 1:30</a>; <a href="/judges/1-33.htm" title="Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelled among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries to them.">Judges 1:33</a>; <a href="/judges/1-35.htm" title="But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.">Judges 1:35</a>. Many of the dangers of the stormy age of the Judges were due to the uprising of these subject races; as in the revival of the northern confederacy at Hazor under Sisera (Judges 4), and the usurpation of Abimelech by aid of the Shecliemites (Judges 9). Probably their subordination to Israel varied according to the strength or weakness of each age; but, when the monarchy became organised under David and Solomon, it was fixed definitely and permanently, although, like the serfship of the Middle Ages, it might vary in its severity in different times and in different regions.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_kings/9.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 20.</span> -
