They have said, “Come, and (A)let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”

They [b]form a confederacy against You:
(B)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

As with (D)Sisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

Yes, all their princes like (G)Zebah and Zalmunna,

The pastures of God for a possession.”
