Gibeonites: Descended from the Hivites and Amorites

Source: TTT

Joshua 9:3, 7 But the people of Gibeon, having heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai, / But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, “Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”
2 Samuel 21:2 At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
