And the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the Nethinim. (1 Chronicles 9:2)
Nethinim were non-Israelite temple servants or ministers. The Hebrew term literally means “Given Ones,” implying that they were given for temple service. Likely, many of the Nethinim were descendants of the Gibeonites, whom Joshua had constituted “gatherers of wood and drawers of water for the assembly and for the LORD’s altar.” (Joshua 9:23, 27; 1Chronicles 9:2; Ezra 8:17)
