Psalms 83:6. The tabernacles of Edom,
These descendants of Esau, Jacob’s twin brother, ought to have been the best friends of Israel, but they were the worst of their enemies. How often does it happen that kinship in blood makes no kinship in grace! "A man’s foes shall be they of his own household."
Psalms 83:6. And the Ishmaelites;
These again were near akin to the seed of Abraham and Isaac; but the Ishmaelites were always among the most bitter enemies of Israel.
Psalms 83:6. Of Moab,
Moab was descended from a daughter of Lot.
Psalms 83:6. And the Hagarenes;
Perhaps descended from Hagar by some other husband.
