KENITE, THE - K>@ - and Ken’ites (smiths), The, inhabited the rocky and desert region between southern Palestine and the mountains of Sinai, east of the Gulf of Akabah. They were a branch of the larger nation of Midian,
from the fact that Jethro, who in Exodus (see kjv@Exodus:2:15-16 kjv@Exodus:4:19) etc.) is represented as dwelling in the land of Midian, and as priest or prince of that nation, is in kjv@Judges:1:16 kjv@Judges:4:11) as distinctly said to have been a Kenite. The important services rendered by the sheikh of the Kenites to Moses during a time of great pressure and difficulty were rewarded by the latter with a promise of firm friendship between the two peoples. They seem to have accompanied the Hebrews during their wanderings, kjv@Numbers:24:21-22; kjv@Judges:1:16) comp. kjv@2Chronicals:28:15 But, the wanderings of Israel over, they forsook the neighborhood of the towns and betook themselves to freer air,
to "the wilderness of Judah, which is to the south of Arad." kjv@Judges:1:16) But one of the sheikhs of the tribe, Heber by name, had wandered north instead of south. kjv@Judges:4:11) The most remarkable development of this people is to be found in the sect or family of the Rechabites.

Kenites @ smiths, the name of a tribe inhabiting the desert lying between southern Palestine and the mountains of Sinai. Jethro was of this tribe kjv@Judges:1:16). He is called a "Midianite" kjv@Numbers:10:29), and hence it is concluded that the Midianites and the Kenites were the same tribe. They were wandering smiths, "the gipsies and travelling tinkers of the old Oriental world. They formed an important guild in an age when the art of metallurgy was confined to a few" (Sayce's Races, etc.). They showed kindness to Israel in their journey through the wilderness. They accompanied them in their march as far as Jericho kjv@Judges:1:16), and then returned to their old haunts among the Amalekites, in the desert to the south of Judah. They sustained afterwards friendly relations with the Israelites when settled in Canaan kjv@Judges:4:11 kjv@Judges:4:17-21 kjv@1Samuel:27:10 kjv@1Samuel:30:29). The Rechabites belonged to this tribe ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:55) and in the days of Jeremiah (35:7-10) are referred to as following their nomad habits. Saul bade them depart from the Amalekites ( kjv@1Samuel:15:6) when, in obedience to the divine commission, he was about to "smite Amalek." And his reason is, "for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt." Thus "God is not unrighteous to forget the kindnesses shown to his people; but they shall be remembered another day, at the farthest in the great day, and recompensed in the resurrection of the just" (M. Henry's Commentary). They are mentioned for the last time in Scripture in kjv@1Samuel:27:10; comp. 30:20.
