They are frequently listed among the nations that the Israelites were commanded to drive out of the Promised Land. The Hivites are first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/10-17.htm">Genesis 10:17</a> as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham, making them part of the broader Canaanite family.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Historical Context</b><br><br>The Hivites are mentioned in several key passages throughout the Old Testament. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/34.htm">Genesis 34</a>, they are associated with the city of Shechem, where Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, defiles Dinah, the daughter of Jacob. This incident leads to a violent reprisal by Dinah's brothers, Simeon and Levi.<br><br>In the conquest narratives of the Book of Joshua, the Hivites are listed among the nations that inhabit the land promised to the Israelites. <a href="/bsb/joshua/9.htm">Joshua 9</a> recounts the cunning strategy of the Gibeonites, who were Hivites, to secure a peace treaty with Israel by pretending to be from a distant land. <a href="/joshua/9-7.htm">Joshua 9:7</a> states, "The men of Israel replied to the Hivites, 'Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?'" This treaty, once discovered, was honored by the Israelites, although the Gibeonites were subjected to servitude.<br><br>The Hivites are also mentioned in <a href="/joshua/11-3.htm">Joshua 11:3</a>, where they are described as dwelling in the region of Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah. This indicates that the Hivites occupied a significant portion of the northern Canaanite territory.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Practices</b><br><br>The Hivites, like other Canaanite tribes, practiced polytheism and were known for their idolatrous worship, which was in direct opposition to the monotheistic worship of Yahweh commanded to the Israelites. The Israelites were warned against adopting the religious practices of the Hivites and other Canaanite peoples. In <a href="/exodus/23-23.htm">Exodus 23:23-24</a> , God instructs, "For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will annihilate them. You must not bow down to their gods or serve them, nor follow their practices. Instead, you are to demolish them and smash their sacred stones to pieces."<br><br><b>Role in Israel's History</b><br><br>The presence of the Hivites in the land of Canaan posed a significant challenge to the Israelites, both militarily and spiritually. The Israelites' interactions with the Hivites, particularly the Gibeonites, highlight the complexities of maintaining covenant faithfulness amidst foreign influences. The treaty with the Gibeonites, while initially deceptive, became a lasting relationship, as seen in later texts where the Gibeonites are integrated into Israelite society, serving as woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and the altar of the Lord (<a href="/joshua/9-27.htm">Joshua 9:27</a>).<br><br>The Hivites' continued presence in the land serves as a reminder of the incomplete conquest of Canaan and the ongoing struggle of the Israelites to fully obey God's commands regarding the inhabitants of the land. Despite their initial deception, the Gibeonite Hivites are later seen as loyal allies to Israel, as evidenced in the account of King Saul's breach of the treaty, which resulted in divine retribution during the reign of King David (<a href="/2_samuel/21.htm">2 Samuel 21:1-14</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The Hivites, as part of the Canaanite nations, played a significant role in the narrative of Israel's conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. Their interactions with the Israelites, particularly through the Gibeonite treaty, illustrate the challenges of maintaining covenantal purity and the complexities of ancient Near Eastern diplomacy. The biblical portrayal of the Hivites underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands and the consequences of failing to fully carry out His instructions.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hivites</span><p>wicked; wickedness<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hivites</span><p>(<i>villagers</i>)<i>, The,</i> descendants --the six in order-- of Canaan the son of Ham.
