Hi'vites, The. (villagers). Descendants - the six, in order, - of Canaan, the son of Ham. Genesis 10:17; 1 Chronicles 1:15. We first encounter the actual people of the Hivites, at the time of Jacob's return to Canaan. Genesis 34:2.

We next meet with the Hivites, during the conquest of Canaan. Joshua 9:7; Joshua 11:19. The main body of the Hivites were, at this time, living in the northern confines of western Palestine - "under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh," Joshua 11:3, - "in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon, to the entering in of Hamath." Judges 3:3. Compare 2 Samuel 24:7.
