This verse in Jeremiah 25
Commentary
4 notes on this verse(v. 20) And to all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and to Ascalon, Gaza, Accaron, and the rest of Azotus. He generally placed the Philistines, that is, the land of the Palestinians, and specifically their cities Ascalon, Gaza, Accaron, and Azotus; he only remained silent about Gath, which is included in the rest. For this is what is written: And the rest of Azotus: for it is near and adjacent to Azotus, which in Hebrew is called Esdod, the region of the city of Gath.
This site's exposition
to make them a desolation
on Jeremiah 25:18-26
The cup passes first to Jerusalem itself, judgment beginning at the house called by God's own name before it touches a single Gentile nation, the pattern Peter will later state as a principle. The catalogue then runs outward by the compass, Egypt, the coastal cities, Edom, Moab and Ammon, Tyre and Zidon, the Arabian tribes, Elam and the Medes, every neighbor Judah watched or feared drawn into the same reckoning. The list closes on the king of Sheshach, Babylon's own name spelled backward through the Hebrew atbash cipher, so that the empire carrying out the sentence is named at the end as also due to drink it, a detail the bench reads as deliberate.
