Psalms 83:6. The tabernacles of Edom,

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.
