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.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
And all the kings of Arabia,.... Of Arabia Petraea; and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert; the other Arabians or mixed people, that dwell in Arabia Deserta, as the Scenites, Nomades, Kedarenes, and others; and so the Targum, "and all the kings of the Arabians, that dwell in tents in the desert.'' Of these, see the prophecy in Jer 49:28.

Arabia - That part which bordered on Palestine, and was inhabited mainly by Ishmaelites. The mingled people - Compare the Jer 25:20 note. In Arabia there seem to have been many tribes of Cushite origin, who by intermarriage with other tribes had become of mixed blood.
