Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 49:30

Jeremiah 49:30. Dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor— When the Arabs have drawn upon themselves so general a resentment of the more fixed inhabitants of those countries, that they think themselves unable to stand against them, they withdraw into the depths of the great wilderness, where none can follow them with hope of success. This appears by a passage in Maillet's Letters, (Leviticus 1:0: p. 24.) and is confirmed by other writers: D'Arvieux particularly informs us, that the Arabs will be... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 49:28-33

G. The oracle against the Arab tribes 49:28-33As with the previous oracle, the length of this one reflects the relative importance to Judah of those cursed by God. These Arab tribes were some of the descendants of Ishmael, Isaac’s half-brother (Genesis 25:12-18). Again, antagonism marked their history with Israel. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:1-39

Against Ammon, Edom, and other Nations1-6. The territory of Ammon was N. of Moab, and the two peoples were connected by descent. The carrying away of the tribes on the E. of Jordan by Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria (2 Kings 15:29), strengthened the hands of Ammon, and it is their occupation of the portion of Gad upon that occasion that forms the crime which is dwelt on in this prophecy, and which shall bring on them judgment.1.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 49:30

(30) Dwell deep.—See Note on Jeremiah 49:8. The dwellers in the villages of Hazor are told, as those of Dedan had been, to flee into the furthest recesses of the wilderness. The words probably point to the time after the battle of Carchemish, when Nebuchadnezzar established his sovereignty over the lower Euphrates, Northern Arabia, and the Syrian desert. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:28-33

CHAPTER XXIIIKEDAR AND HAZORJeremiah 49:28-33"Concerning Kedar, and the kingdoms of Hazor which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon smote."- Jeremiah 49:28FROM an immemorial seat of human culture, an "eternal city" which antedates Rome by centuries, if not millenniums, we turn to those Arab tribes whose national life and habits were as ancient and have been as persistent as the streets of Damascus. While Damascus has almost always been in the forefront of history, the Arab tribes-except in the time... read more

We have here the continuation of the same or similar judgments: and all by one and the same Destroyer. It is not to be wondered at that Babylon should be so lifted up with pride, when the Lord had made Babylon the scourge of all nations! read more
