This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 21:13-17. Prophecy that Arabia would be overrun by a foreign foe within a year.
Probably in the wars between Assyria and Egypt; Idumea and Arabia lay somewhat on the intermediate line of march.
upon - that is, respecting.
forest - not a grove of trees, but a region of thick underwood, rugged and inaccessible; for Arabia has no forest of trees.
travelling companies - caravans: ye shall be driven through fear of the foe to unfrequented routes (Isa 33:8; Jdg 5:6; Jer 49:8 is parallel to this passage).
Dedanim - In North Arabia (Gen 25:3; Jer 25:23; Eze 25:13; Eze 27:20; a different “Dedan” occurs Gen 10:7).
