The Hebrew word for "people" here is "עַם" (am), which often refers to a nation or ethnic group. In the context of ancient Israel, this term underscores the distinct identity and cultural heritage of these groups, setting the stage for understanding their role and status in Solomon's kingdom.<p><b>who were left</b><br />The phrase "who were left" indicates a remnant of the original inhabitants of the land. Historically, this refers to those who remained after the Israelites had taken possession of Canaan. The Hebrew root "שָׁאַר" (sha'ar) means to remain or be left over, suggesting that these people survived the conquests and were now living under Israelite rule.<p><b>of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites</b><br />These names represent the various Canaanite tribes that inhabited the Promised Land before the Israelites. Each group had its own unique culture and religious practices. Archaeological findings have provided insights into their societies, revealing a complex tapestry of city-states and alliances. The mention of these specific tribes highlights the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham, as well as the ongoing challenges of maintaining purity and faithfulness amidst surrounding pagan influences.<p><b>(who were not Israelites)</b><br />This parenthetical note emphasizes the distinction between the Israelites and the remaining Canaanite peoples. The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Jacob, also known as Israel, and signifies those who are part of God's covenant community. This distinction is crucial in understanding the social and religious dynamics of Solomon's reign, as it underscores the Israelites' unique identity and calling to be a holy nation set apart for God's purposes.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/8.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(<span class= "ital">b</span>) <span class= "bld">THE FORCED LABOUR OF THE CANAANITES</span><p>(<a href="/context/2_chronicles/8-7.htm" title="As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,">2Chronicles 8:7-10</a>).<p>With this section comp. <a href="/context/1_kings/9-20.htm" title="And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,">1Kings 9:20-23</a>, and the Notes there. In Kings it stands in more obvious connection with what precedes; for there the account of Solomon's buildings is headed by the words, "And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised, for to build the house of the Lord," &c. (<a href="/1_kings/9-15.htm" title="And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.">1Kings 9:15</a>).<p>(7) <span class= "bld">As for all the people that were left.</span>--The verse agrees with <a href="/1_kings/9-20.htm" title="And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,">1Kings 9:20</a>. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/8.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 7-10.</span> - These verses, corresponding very nearly exactly with the parallel (<a href="/1_kings/9-20.htm">1 Kings 9:20-23</a>), betray how it was a thing never to be forgotten, if only as a fact, that the extermination of the old possessors of the land had not been entire; so that allusion to it is not omitted even by a post-Captivity compiler. The parallel charitably "whom the children of Israel were not able to destroy utterly," where our text shows with exacter fidelity, <span class="cmt_word">whom the children of Israel consumed not</span>. The parallel also uses the words, "levy a tribute of <span class="accented">bond</span>-<span class="accented">service</span>," for our more ambiguous <span class="cmt_word">make to pay tribute</span> (<a href="/judges/3-1.htm">Judges 3:1-7</a>). In the words, <span class="cmt_word">until this day</span>, the copyist, shall we say, too slavish, is again detected (ver. 9). The "levy "in <span class="accented">ver.</span> 21 of the parallel probably explains the suddenly mentioned similar language of its fifteenth verse, and again betrays the collected and copied nature of the historic material, the carefulness of sequence not being as observable in selection as might be desired. The distinction between the remnant of aliens and the people of Israel was manifestly that the <span class="accented">menial</span> and the laborious service was put on the former. Useful but familiar references to this whole subject are found in <a href="/judges/1-21.htm">Judges 1:21-36</a>; <a href="/judges/3-1.htm">Judges 3:1-5</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/22-2.htm">1 Chronicles 22:2</a>; <a href="/1_kings/5-13.htm">1 Kings 5:13-18</a>. For our <span class="cmt_word">two hundred and fifty</span> (which gives the number of overseers over Israelites only) the parallel reads, "five hundred and fifty." It will be remembered that an analogous difference occurs between our <a href="/2_chronicles/2-18.htm">2 Chronicles 2:18</a> and <a href="/1_kings/5-16.htm">1 Kings 5:16</a>. Whether it were the determining reason or not in these two places, it is very imaginable that it would be of less importance in the ages of the post-Captivity annalist to dwell on the minutiae of the different treatment of the aliens. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/2_chronicles/8-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">As for all</span><br /><span class="heb">כָּל־</span> <span class="translit">(kāl-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
