HITTITES
Descendants of Heth, Genesis 10:15, a Canaanite tribe dwelling near Hebron in the time of Abraham, Genesis 15:20, Genesis 1:15, and subdued in the Israelitish invasion, Exodus 3:8 Joshua 3:10. They were not, however, exterminated: Uriah was a Hittite, 2 Samuel 11:3; Solomon used their services, 1 Kings 10:29 2 Kings 7:6; and they were not lost as a people until after the Jews’ return from captivity, Ezra 9:1.
