were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites

on 2 Chronicles 8:7-10

The surviving Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, the peoples Israel did not drive out, are set to forced labor and tribute that the Chronicler says continues to his own day. Solomon makes no Israelite a servant for the work; the sons of Israel serve instead as his men of war, captains, and commanders of chariots and horsemen. Two hundred and fifty officers, drawn from Israel, rule over the whole labor force. Chronicles states this division plainly where 1 Kings 9:20-23 gives it in the same terms, keeping Israel a free people even inside a great building program.
