1 Kings 9:20 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:20

And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites,
Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites
Who were not destroyed in the times of Joshua, or since, but dwelt in several cities of the land of Israel from those times; see ( Judges 1:1 ) , which were not of the children of Israel; not natives of the land of Israel, though they might be proselytes, at least some of them.

1 Kings 9:20 In-Context

18 And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;

19 And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

20 As for the rest of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not children of Israel;

21 Their children who were still in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not been able to put to complete destruction, them did Solomon put to forced work, to this day.

22 But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.
