Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre.


tn The words “it includes” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

sn The Hagrites are also mentioned in 1 Chr 5:10, 19-20.

sn Some identify Gebal with the Phoenician coastal city of Byblos (see Ezek 27:9, where the name is spelled differently), though others locate this site south of the Dead Sea (see BDB 148 s.v. גְּבַל; HALOT 174 s.v. גְּבַל).
