Hittite

Definition

The Hittites were descendants of Ham through his son Canaan. They became a large empire located in what is now present-day Turkey and northern Palestine.

  • The Hittites were often a threat to the Israelites, both physically and spiritually.
  • Abraham bought a piece of property from Ephron the Hittite so that he could bury his deceased wife Sarah in a cave there. Eventually Abraham and several of his descendants were also buried in that cave.
  • Esau's parents were grieved when he married two Hittite women.
  • One of David's mighty men of valor was named Uriah the Hittite.
  • Some of the foreign women in Solomon's harem were Hittites. These women turned Solomon's heart away from God because of the false gods they worshiped.
