 Perizzites
    villagers; dwellers in the open country, the Canaanitish nation
    inhabiting the fertile regions south and south-west of Carmel.
    "They were the graziers, farmers, and peasants of the time."
    They were to be driven out of the land by the descendants of
    Abraham (Gen. 15:20; Ex. 3:8, 17; 23:23; 33:2; 34:11). They are
    afterwards named among the conquered tribes (Josh. 24:11). Still
    lingering in the land, however, they were reduced to servitude
    by Solomon (1 Kings 9:20).
