49:28-33 The nomads of Kedar roamed freely in the upper Arabian Desert east of Palestine. They were a belligerent people (Ps 120:5-7; Isa 21:13-16) who raised flocks and herds for lucrative trade with Tyre (Ezek 27:21). • Hazor was a region east of Damascus inhabited by nomads. • The poem urges King Nebuchadnezzar to attack, and it describes the impact of the battles. 49:28-29 The Babylonians wanted to defeat the warriors of Kedar so they could capture their rich household goods and camels.
