This site's exposition
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor
on Jeremiah 49:28-33
Kedar descends from a son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:13), and Gill and Clarke take this Hazor as a region of Arab tent-dwellers. They are a people “at ease” who “have no gates or bars; they live alone.” Verse 33 sentences Hazor to be “a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever.”
