Who is this
The Hivites were one of the Canaanite people groups that inhabited the land of Canaan prior to the Israelite conquest. They are first mentioned in Genesis 10:17 and 1 Chronicles 1:15 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham.
The Hivites lived in various parts of Canaan, including the region around Shechem (Genesis 34:2), the area near Mount Hermon (Joshua 11:3), and the cities of Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim (Joshua 9:7, 17). They were among the tribes that God promised to drive out before the Israelites (Exodus 3:8, 17; 13:5; 23:23, 28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10).
During the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the Hivites of Gibeon tricked Joshua into making a peace treaty with them.
