Verse 28

Nebuchadnezzar also defeated Kedar, a prominent Arab tribe (Jeremiah 2:10; Genesis 25:13; Isaiah 21:16-17; Isaiah 42:11; Isaiah 60:7; Ezekiel 27:21; et al.), and the tribes around "Hazor," a place in the eastern desert (not the town in northern Galilee). The past tense in this title verse may have been added after Nebuchadnezzar’s invasion, but the oracle is a promise of future destruction. Or, this may be a Hebrew prophetic perfect, in which case the prophet spoke of the future as past because it was certain to happen. Yahweh ordered the Babylonian king to devastate these eastern Arabs (cf. Judges 6:3).
