men of the east--Kedar and Hazor were east of Judea (Jdg 6:3; Job 1:3).

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Hazor, derived from a word signifying an unwalled village, is a general appellative of those Arab tribes who were partially settled, while Kedar signifies the Bedawin, who used only tents. Some think that Hazor is another way of spelling Jetor, i. e., Ituraea, whose inhabitants, with the Kedarenes, would naturally be called the sons of the East. Shall smite - Or, smote.

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
"Concerning Kedar and the Kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote." (The Kethib נבוּכדראצּור is perhaps merely an error in transcription occasioned by the occurrence of the preceding חצור). Kedar, the Kedarenes, a Bedouin nation descended from Ishmael, dwelling in tents throughout the region between Arabia Petraea and Babylonia (see on Gen 25:13 and Eze 27:21), is here, no doubt, a general name for all the nomadic tribes and shepherd nations of Arabia. Hazor elsewhere occurs only as the name of various cities in Palestine (Jos 11:1; Jos 15:23, Jos 15:25; Jos 19:23; Nah. 11:33), of which we need not think here, since it is Arabians who are spoken of. No locality or region of this name in Arabia is known. Jeremiah appears to have formed the name for the purpose of designating those Arabians who dwelt in חצרים, "courts" or "villages," and who thus differed from the Bedouins proper, or nomads and dwellers in tents; cf. Isa 42:11 with Gen 25:16. The settled Arabians are to this day called Hadarijeh, in contrast with Wabarijeh, who dwell in tents. "Hadar, חצר, is the settled dwelling-place, in contrast with bedû, the steppe, where the tents are pitched, sometimes here, sometimes there, and only for a time" (Delitzsch on Isa 42:11). "The kingdoms of Hazor" are the regions of the settled tribes, ruled by their own princes or sheiks; cf. Jer 25:24. (Note: According to Mrc. v. Niebuhr, Gesch. Ass. u. Bab. p. 210, "Hazor is the modern Hajar, a region which occupies the whole north-eastern corner of the Nejed, and to which, in the wider sense, Lascha, the region on the coast, also belongs" But חצור, from חצר, which corresponds to Arab. htsr or hdr, is fundamentally different from Arab. hjr or ḥjr.) In the prophecy, the general designation, "children of the east," i.e., Orientals, alternates with Kedar: the former is the most common name given to the tribes living to the east of Palestine, in the wilderness: cf. Jdg 6:3; Job 1:3; Eze 25:4. Instead of this name, Josephus uses the designation "Arabians" (Ant. Eze 25:6. 1); later, "Nabateans" or "Kedarenes" became common. Here also (Jer 49:32) is used the special designation קצוּצי פאה cut (at) the corner (of the hair), which points to the custom, usual among several of these Bedouin tribes, of cropping the hair of the head and beard; see on Jer 9:25 and Jer 25:23. Jer 49:28 "Thus saith Jahveh, Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east. Jer 49:29. Their tents and their flocks shall they take: their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels shall they carry away for themselves; and they shall cry over them, Fear is on every side. Jer 49:30. Flee! wander far, dwell deep, ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jahveh; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath devised a plan against them. Jer 49:31. Arise! go up against a nation at ease, dwelling carelessly, saith Jahveh; it has no gates nor bars - they dwell alone. Jer 49:32. And their camels shall be a prey, and the multitude of their herds a spoil; and I will scatter them to every wind who have cut the corner [of their beards], and from all sides will I bring their destruction, saith Jahveh. Jer 49:33. And Hazor shall be an habitation of jackals, a desolation for ever. No man shall dwell there, nor shall a son of man sojourn in it." This prophecy consists of two brief strophes, which begin with a summons to the army of the enemy to wage war on the Arabians (Jer 49:28 and Jer 49:31), and then announce the execution of this order; the arrangement, moreover, is such that there is attached to the first strophe a summons to the Arabians to save themselves by flight (Jer 49:30), while the other concludes with the threat that their territory shall be destroyed (Jer 49:33). Jer 49:28-30 עלה is used with אל instead of על, to signify hostile advance against a nation or city. שׁדדוּ with Qametz-Hatuph (without Metheg) is imperative; cf. Ewald, 227, i, with 251, c. The verbs יקּחוּ and ישׂאוּ in Jer 49:29 are not jussives (Ewald, Umbreit, etc.), but imperfects, describing what takes place in consequence of the order given. Tents and flocks of sheep and goats, curtains and vessels, together with camels, form the property and wealth of the nomads. נשׂא, to take away, carry off; להם, sibi. They call out over them, as if it were a watch-cry, "Horror around:" on this expression, see Jer 6:25. This justifies the call addressed to them, "Flee," etc. To נסוּ is added נדוּ for the purpose of intensifying, and this again is further strengthened by appending מאד: "Use every effort to flee." העמיקוּ as in Jer 49:8. A reason is given for the summons, in the statement that Nebuchadnezzar, as the instrument of Jahveh, has formed a plan against them; cf. Jer 49:20 and Jer 18:11. Instead of עליהם, many MSS and the ancient versions have עליכם, in conformity with the first member. In all probability, the original reading is "against them," inasmuch as "the discourse, as in other instances, makes a transition, in the last portion, from direct address to a calmer style of speaking" (Ewald). Jer 49:31-32 Jer 49:31 does not declare the plan of the king of Babylon; but the words, "Arise, go ye up," etc., are once more the summons of the Lord, as is shown by the expression "saith Jahveh." The enemy is to march against a peaceful nation, dwelling securely, that has neither doors nor bars, i.e., does not live in cities surrounded by walls with gates and bars (cf. Sa1 23:7; Deu 3:5), whose territory, therefore, is easily conquered. They dwell alone, apart from others, without connection and intercourse with other nations, from which they could obtain help and support. שׁליו, like זעיר, Job 36:2; Dan 7:8, is a Chaldaizing form; elsewhere it is written שׁליו, Job 21:23, or שׁלו, Job 16:12. As to living securely, cf. Jdg 18:7; Eze 38:11; on living alone, 15:17. This last is elsewhere said only of Israel, Num 23:9; Deu 33:28. Their possessions will become the spoil of the enemy; God will scatter them to every wind (cf. Eze 5:12; Eze 12:14), and bring destruction on them from every side (on עבריו, cf. Kg1 5:4). Jer 49:33 The dwelling-places of the settled tribes (Hazor) shall become the habitation of jackals (cf. Jer 9:10), an uninhabited desolation for ever. Jer 49:33 is in part a repetition of Jer 49:18. With regard to the fulfilment of this prophecy, it follows from the latter part of the title that Nebuchadnezzar had smitten the Arabian tribes, i.e., defeated them, and subjected them to his sway. But we have no historical information as to the time when this took place. M. von Niebuhr (Gesch. Assyr. u. Bab. S. 209) and Duncker (Gesch. d. Alterth. i. S. 427) suppose that Nebuchadnezzar, after he had returned home to Babylon from Hither Asia, having heard of the death of his father, after his victory at Carchemish, and after he had ascended the throne, "as it seems," first thought of extending his authority over the Arabians on the lower portion of the Euphrates, in North Arabia, and in the Syrian desert. This supposition may possibly be true, but cannot be raised to historic probability; moreover, it is connected, by the above-mentioned historians, with theories regarding the campaigns against Hither Asia which rest upon statements of Josephus that are very uncertain, and some of which can be proved to be incorrect. Such is the statement in Antt. x. 6. 1, that Nebuchadnezzar, after his victory at Carchemish, in pursuing the Egyptians to the borders of their country, did not touch Judea. The only notice we have, apart from Scripture, of the conquest of Arabia by Nebuchadnezzar, is that furnished by Josephus (contra Ap. i. 19) from Berosus: κρατῆσαι δέ φησί τὸν Βαβυλώνιον (i.e., Nebuchadnezzar) Αἰγύπτου Συρίας Φοινίκης ̓Αραβίας. But this notice is stated in such indefinite and general terms, that nothing more specific can be inferred from it regarding the time and circumstances of the conquest of Arabians.

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]

"Concerning Kedar and the Kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote." (The Kethib נבוּכדראצּור is perhaps merely an error in transcription occasioned by the occurrence of the preceding חצור).

"Hadar, חצר, is the settled dwelling-place, in contrast with bedû, the steppe, where the tents are pitched, sometimes here, sometimes there, and only for a time" (Delitzsch on Isa 42:11). "The kingdoms of Hazor" are the regions of the settled tribes, ruled by their own princes or sheiks; cf. Jer 25:24.

(Note: According to Mrc. v. Niebuhr, Gesch. Ass. u. Bab. p. 210, "Hazor is the modern Hajar, a region which occupies the whole north-eastern corner of the Nejed, and to which, in the wider sense, Lascha, the region on the coast, also belongs" But חצור, from חצר, which corresponds to Arab. htsr or hdr, is fundamentally different from Arab. hjr or ḥjr.)

"Thus saith Jahveh, Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east. Jer 49:29. Their tents and their flocks shall they take: their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels shall they carry away for themselves; and they shall cry over them, Fear is on every side. Jer 49:30. Flee! wander far, dwell deep, ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jahveh; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath devised a plan against them. Jer 49:31. Arise! go up against a nation at ease, dwelling carelessly, saith Jahveh; it has no gates nor bars - they dwell alone. Jer 49:32. And their camels shall be a prey, and the multitude of their herds a spoil; and I will scatter them to every wind who have cut the corner [of their beards], and from all sides will I bring their destruction, saith Jahveh.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Kedar - Was one of the sons of Ishmael, whose posterity inhabited part of Arabia Petraea. Hazor was the head city to several kingdoms in Joshua's time.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Concerning Kedar, and Concerning the Kingdoms of Hazor - This is the title of another new prophecy. Kedar was the name of one of the sons of Ishmael (Gen 25:13) who settled in Arabia, and who gave name to a powerful tribe of Arabs who used to traffic with the Tyrians in cattle. It appears from this prophecy that Nebuchadnezzar got a commission to go against and reduce them to great misery.

³ His substance [04735] also was seven [07651] thousand [0505] sheep [06629], and three [07969] thousand [0505] camels [01581], and five [02568] hundred [03967] yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and five [02568] hundred [03967] she asses [0860], and a very [03966] great [07227] household [05657]; so that this man [0376] was the greatest [01419] of all the men [01121] of the east [06924].

³ And so it was, when Israel [03478] had sown [02232], that the Midianites [04080] came up [05927], and the Amalekites [06002], and the children [01121] of the east [06924], even they came up [05927] against them;

⁵ I am black [07838], but comely [05000], O ye daughters [01323] of Jerusalem [03389], as the tents [0168] of Kedar [06938], as the curtains [03407] of Solomon [08010].

⁵ Woe [0190] is me, that I sojourn [01481] in Mesech [04902], that I dwell [07931] in the tents [0168] of Kedar [06938]!

¹⁶ Moreover the LORD [03068] stirred up [05782] against Jehoram [03088] the spirit [07307] of the Philistines [06430], and of the Arabians [06163], that were near [05921] [03027] the Ethiopians [03569]:
¹⁷ And they came up [05927] into Judah [03063], and brake [01234] into it, and carried away [07617] all the substance [07399] that was found [04672] in the king's [04428] house [01004], and his sons [01121] also, and his wives [0802]; so that there was never a son [01121] left [07604] him, save Jehoahaz [03059], the youngest [06996] of his sons [01121].

¹³ And these are the names [08034] of the sons [01121] of Ishmael [03458], by their names [08034], according to their generations [08435]: the firstborn [01060] of Ishmael [03458], Nebajoth [05032]; and Kedar [06938], and Adbeel [0110], and Mibsam [04017],

¹⁸ As in the overthrow [04114] of Sodom [05467] and Gomorrah [06017] and the neighbour [07934] cities thereof, saith [0559] the LORD [03068], no man [0376] shall abide [03427] there, neither shall a son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] in it.

³³ And Hazor [02674] shall be a dwelling [04583] for dragons [08577], and a desolation [08077] for [05704] ever [05769]: there shall no man [0376] abide [03427] there, nor any son [01121] of man [0120] dwell [01481] in it.

¹⁰ For the mountains [02022] will I take up [05375] a weeping [01065] and wailing [05092], and for the habitations [04999] of the wilderness [04057] a lamentation [07015], because they are burned up [03341], so that none [0376] can pass [05674] through them; neither can men hear [08085] the voice [06963] of the cattle [04735]; both the fowl [05775] of the heavens [08064] and the beast [0929] are fled [05074]; they are gone [01980].

⁴ But now the LORD [03068] my God [0430] hath given me rest [05117] on every side [05439], so that there is neither adversary [07854] nor evil [07451] occurrent [06294].

¹⁴ And I will scatter [02219] toward every wind [07307] all that are about [05439] him to help [05828] him, and all his bands [0102]; and I will draw out [07324] the sword [02719] after [0310] them.

¹² A third part [07992] of thee shall die [04191] with the pestilence [01698], and with famine [07458] shall they be consumed [03615] in the midst [08432] of thee: and a third part [07992] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] round about [05439] thee; and I will scatter [02219] a third part [07992] into all the winds [07307], and I will draw out [07324] a sword [02719] after [0310] them.

²⁸ Israel [03478] then shall dwell [07931] in safety [0983] alone [0910]: the fountain [05869] of Jacob [03290] shall be upon a land [0776] of corn [01715] and wine [08492]; also his heavens [08064] shall drop down [06201] dew [02919].

⁹ For from the top [07218] of the rocks [06697] I see [07200] him, and from the hills [01389] I behold [07789] him: lo, the people [05971] shall dwell [07931] alone [0910], and shall not be reckoned [02803] among the nations [01471].

¹¹ And thou shalt say [0559], I will go up [05927] to the land [0776] of unwalled villages [06519]; I will go [0935] to them that are at rest [08252], that dwell [03427] safely [0983], all of them dwelling [03427] without walls [02346], and having neither bars [01280] nor gates [01817],

⁷ Then the five [02568] men [0582] departed [03212], and came [0935] to Laish [03919], and saw [07200] the people [05971] that were therein [07130], how they dwelt [03427] careless [0983], after the manner [04941] of the Zidonians [06722], quiet [08252] and secure [0982]; and there was no magistrate [03423] [06114] in the land [0776], that might put them to shame [03637] in any thing [01697]; and they were far [07350] from the Zidonians [06722], and had no business [01697] with any man [0120].

¹² I was at ease [07961], but he hath broken me asunder [06565]: he hath also taken [0270] me by my neck [06203], and shaken me to pieces [06327], and set me up [06965] for his mark [04307].

²³ One dieth [04191] in his full [08537] strength [06106], being wholly at ease [07946] and quiet [07961].

⁸ I considered [01934] [07920] the horns [07162], and, behold [0431], there came up [05559] among [0997] them another [0317] little [02192] horn [07162], before [06925] [04481] whom there were three [08532] of [04481] the first [06933] horns [07162] plucked up by the roots [06132]: and, behold [0431], in this [01668] horn [07162] were eyes [05870] like the eyes [05870] of man [0606], and a mouth [06433] speaking [04449] great things [07260].

² Suffer [03803] me a little [02191], and I will shew [02331] thee that I have yet to speak [04405] on God's [0433] behalf.

⁵ All these cities [05892] were fenced [01219] with high [01364] walls [02346], gates [01817], and bars [01280]; beside unwalled [06521] towns [05892] a great [03966] many [07235].

⁷ And it was told [05046] Saul [07586] that David [01732] was come [0935] to Keilah [07084]. And Saul [07586] said [0559], God [0430] hath delivered [05234] him into mine hand [03027]; for he is shut in [05462], by entering [0935] into a town [05892] that hath gates [01817] and bars [01280].

³¹ Arise [06965], get you up [05927] unto the wealthy [07961] nation [01471], that dwelleth [03427] without care [0983], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], which have neither gates [01817] nor bars [01280], which dwell [07931] alone [0910].
³² And their camels [01581] shall be a booty [0957], and the multitude [01995] of their cattle [04735] a spoil [07998]: and I will scatter [02219] into all winds [07307] them that are in the utmost [07112] corners [06285]; and I will bring [0935] their calamity [0343] from all sides [05676] thereof, saith [05002] the LORD [03068].

¹¹ Now therefore go to, speak [0559] to the men [0376] of Judah [03063], and to the inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Behold, I frame [03335] evil [07451] against you, and devise [02803] a device [04284] against you: return [07725] ye now every one [0376] from his evil [07451] way [01870], and make your ways [01870] and your doings [04611] good [03190].

²⁰ Therefore hear [08085] the counsel [06098] of the LORD [03068], that he hath taken [03289] against Edom [0123]; and his purposes [04284], that he hath purposed [02803] against the inhabitants [03427] of Teman [08487]: Surely the least [06810] of the flock [06629] shall draw them out [05498]: surely he shall make their habitations [05116] desolate [08074] with them.

⁸ Flee [05127] ye, turn back [06437], dwell [03427] deep [06009], O inhabitants [03427] of Dedan [01719]; for I will bring [0935] the calamity [0343] of Esau [06215] upon him, the time [06256] that I will visit [06485] him.

²⁵ Go not forth [03318] into the field [07704], nor walk [03212] by the way [01870]; for the sword [02719] of the enemy [0341] and fear [04032] is on every side [05439].

²⁹ Their tents [0168] and their flocks [06629] shall they take away [03947]: they shall take [05375] to themselves their curtains [03407], and all their vessels [03627], and their camels [01581]; and they shall cry [07121] unto them, Fear [04032] is on every side [05439].

²⁸ Concerning Kedar [06938], and concerning the kingdoms [04467] of Hazor [02674], which Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] shall smite [05221], thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068]; Arise [06965] ye, go up [05927] to Kedar [06938], and spoil [07703] the men [01121] of the east [06924].
²⁹ Their tents [0168] and their flocks [06629] shall they take away [03947]: they shall take [05375] to themselves their curtains [03407], and all their vessels [03627], and their camels [01581]; and they shall cry [07121] unto them, Fear [04032] is on every side [05439].
³⁰ Flee [05127], get [05110] you far off [03966], dwell [03427] deep [06009], O ye inhabitants [03427] of Hazor [02674], saith [05002] the LORD [03068]; for Nebuchadrezzar [05019] king [04428] of Babylon [0894] hath taken counsel [06098] [03289] against you, and hath conceived [02803] a purpose [04284] against you.

²³ Dedan [01719], and Tema [08485], and Buz [0938], and all that are in the utmost [07112] corners [06285],

²⁵ Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], that I will punish [06485] all them which are circumcised [04135] with the uncircumcised [06190];

⁶ For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; Because thou hast clapped [04222] thine hands [03027], and stamped [07554] with the feet [07272], and rejoiced [08055] in heart [05315] with all thy despite [07589] against the land [0127] of Israel [03478];

²⁴ And all the kings [04428] of Arabia [06152], and all the kings [04428] of the mingled people [06153] that dwell [07931] in the desert [04057],

¹¹ Let the wilderness [04057] and the cities [05892] thereof lift up [05375] their voice, the villages [02691] that Kedar [06938] doth inhabit [03427]: let the inhabitants [03427] of the rock [05553] sing [07442], let them shout [06681] from the top [07218] of the mountains [02022].

¹⁶ These are the sons [01121] of Ishmael [03458], and these are their names [08034], by their towns [02691], and by their castles [02918]; twelve [08147] [06240] princes [05387] according to their nations [0523].

²³ This is the inheritance [05159] of the tribe [04294] of the children [01121] of Issachar [03485] according to their families [04940], the cities [05892] and their villages [02691].
