Verse 7
Gebal ,.... Gubleans, or Gebalites, as the Targum; the same with Giblites, Joshua 23:5 , or men of Gebal, Ezekiel 27:9 the same with Byblus: these dwelt in Phoenicia, near Tyre, where Pliny F7 Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 20. makes mention of a place called Gabale: the Syriac version joins it with Ammon, and renders it "the border of Ammon":
and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre ; these are well known in Scripture, and as the enemies of Israel.
