6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

the tabernacles. Tents are mentioned because it was the custom of these people, particularly the Ishmaelites, to live a migratory or wandering life; encamping sometimes in one place, and sometimes in another, as they found convenience for themselves and cattle; a custom retained by their descendants to the present day.

Edom 2Ch 20:1,10,11

Hagarenes Ge 25:12-18 1Ch 5:10,19,20

as to Sisera Jud 4:15-24

Ps 35:4,26 40:14,15 109:29

18 That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
