Verse 7
And God helped him against the Philistines ,.... He did not do all before related of himself, and by his own strength, but by the help of God; the Targum is"the Word of the Lord helped him:"
and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal ; the same with Gerar, according to the Targum; which also belonged to the Philistines, and had a king in Abraham's time, Genesis 20:1 , the same with Askelon, another of the five principalities of the Philistines:
and the Mehunims ; or the Minaeans, as the Septuagint, and whom Pliny F14 Nat. Hist. l. 6. c. 28. makes mention of among the Arabians; they seem to be the Scenite Arabs; see 2 Chronicles 20:1 , or rather, as the Targum, those that dwelt in the plain of Maon, which was in Arabia Petraea.
