1 Re 9:20-21

20 Egli levò, per esser tributario a fazioni personali, tutto il popolo rimasto degli Amorrei, degli Hittei, dei Ferizzei, degli Hivvei, e dei Gebusei, i quali non erano de’ figliuoli d’Israele;

21 cioè i lor figliuoli rimasti dopo loro nel paese, i quali i figliuoli d’Israele non aveano potuti distruggere; ed è durato infino a questo giorno.
