Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Chivvites, as they are specifically a Hebrew term referring to a Canaanite tribe. However, the Greek Septuagint may use general terms for Canaanites or specific transliterations when referring to the Chivvites.

Usage: The term "Chivvite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific group of people who were among the original inhabitants of the land of Canaan. They are often listed among the nations that the Israelites encountered and sometimes battled during their conquest of the Promised Land.

Context: The Chivvites were one of the Canaanite tribes mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. They are first introduced in Genesis 10:17 as descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham. The Chivvites are frequently listed among the nations inhabiting the land of Canaan, as seen in passages such as Exodus 3:8, where God promises to deliver the Israelites from Egypt and bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey, the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

In the narrative of the conquest of Canaan, the Chivvites are mentioned in Joshua 9:7, where the Israelites encounter the Gibeonites, who are identified as a group of Chivvites. The Gibeonites famously deceived Joshua and the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them by pretending to be from a distant land. This incident highlights the Chivvites' presence and influence in the region.

The Chivvites are also noted in Judges 3:3 as one of the nations left in the land to test Israel, serving as a reminder of the incomplete conquest and the ongoing challenges faced by the Israelites in maintaining their covenantal faithfulness.

The Chivvites' territory is generally associated with the central and northern regions of Canaan, including areas around Mount Hermon and Lebanon, as indicated in Joshua 11:3. Despite their presence in the land, the Chivvites, like other Canaanite tribes, were eventually assimilated or displaced as Israel established its dominance in the region.
