| The Message (MSG) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
20 The remnants from the original inhabitants of the land (Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites - all non-Israelites),
|
20 All the people left from the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these peoples were not Israelites),
|
|
21 survivors of the holy wars, were rounded up by Solomon for his gangs of slave labor, a policy still in effect.
|
21 that is, their descendants remaining in the land, whom the Israelites could not exterminate--these Solomon conscripted for his slave labor force, as it is to this day.
