The time during which Perizzites were most in conflict with the Israelites seems to be the time of Joshua into the early period of the Judges. According to the Book of Joshua, the Perizzites were in the hill country of Judah and Ephraim (Joshua 11:3, 17:14–15). According to 1 Kings 9:21, they were servants to Solomon.
When enumerated separately, one of the seven nations is called Canaanites, while the others are called the Amorites, the Girgashites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Jebusites and the Perizzites. [3] Brian R. Doak argues that the seven nations embody the "symbol(s) of the religious practices Israel should avoid".
These seven nations were to be exterminated: Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. [5] In Joshua 9, Joshua enslaved the Hivites of Gibeon to be wood gatherers and water carriers for the Temple of YHWH (see Nethinim). The Bible records that David's census included Hivite cities. [6]

According to the Hebrew Bible, the Kenites/Qenites (/ ˈ k iː n aɪ t / or / ˈ k ɛ n aɪ t /; Hebrew: קֵינִי , romanized: Qēni) were a tribe in the ancient Levant. [1] [2] They settled in the towns and cities in the northeastern Negev in an area known as the "Negev of the Kenites" near Arad, and played an important role in the ...
The Bible also refers to the Cherethites in the frequent phrase Cherethites and Pelethites. The Pelethites (Pelethi in Hebrew) are thought to be identical to the Philistines (Pelishti in Hebrew), the former term being a linguistic corruption of the latter; [3] seemingly this differentiates between the Cherethites and the Philistines.

The tribes of Judah and Simeon attacked the Canaanites and the Perizzites at Bezek and defeated him. The historical reality of events described in the book of Judges is the subject of ongoing dispute among scholars, who vary in their opinions about how much of the book is historical.
