Strong's Lexicon Giboni: Gibeonite Original Word: גִּבְעֹנִי Word Origin: Derived from גִּבְעוֹן (Gibeon), a prominent city of the Hivites Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Gibeonite" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and narrative. Usage: The term "Gibeonite" refers to the inhabitants of Gibeon, a significant city in ancient Canaan. The Gibeonites are most notably recognized for their cunning treaty with Joshua and the Israelites, as recorded in the book of Joshua. They are often associated with servitude, as they were made hewers of wood and drawers of water for the Israelite community and the altar of the LORD. Cultural and Historical Background: The Gibeonites were part of the Hivite people, one of the Canaanite tribes inhabiting the land before the Israelite conquest. Gibeon was a major city, and its people were known for their strategic diplomacy. In the biblical narrative, the Gibeonites deceived Joshua into making a peace treaty with them by pretending to be from a distant land (Joshua 9). This treaty was honored by the Israelites, even after the deception was discovered, due to the sacredness of oaths made before God. The Gibeonites' role in Israelite society was defined by their servitude, which was a consequence of their deception.
