Ezra 2:55-58

Solomon's servants, a class similar to the Nethinim, with whom they are also found in conjunction Nehemiah 7:60; Nehemiah 11:3. They are apparently included under the more general term Nethinim in such passages as Nehemiah 10:28. They have been traditionally understood to be the descendants of those inhabitants of the land -that were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites" of whom Solomon had hired -bondservants" for the work of building his temple (1 Kings 5:13).
