Cross-References
The descendants of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
As the people migrated to the east, they found a plain in the land of Babylonia and settled there.
In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to bring back the remnant of his people— those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt; in southern Egypt, Ethiopia, and Elam; in Babylonia, Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
I see a terrifying vision: I see the betrayer betraying, the destroyer destroying. Go ahead, you Elamites and Medes, attack and lay siege. I will make an end to all the groaning Babylon caused.
Elamites are the archers, with their chariots and charioteers. The men of Kir hold up the shields.
Have the gods of other nations rescued them—such nations as Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Tel-assar? My predecessors destroyed them all!
and to the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media.
"Elam lies there surrounded by the graves of all its hordes, those who were slaughtered by the sword. They struck terror in the hearts of people everywhere, but now they have descended as outcasts to the world below. Now they lie in the pit and share the shame of those who have gone before them.
The Lord gave him victory over King Jehoiakim of Judah and permitted him to take some of the sacred objects from the Temple of God. So Nebuchadnezzar took them back to the land of Babylonia and placed them in the treasure-house of his god.
He replied, "To the land of Babylonia, where they will build a temple for the basket. And when the temple is ready, they will set the basket there on its pedestal."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass in Iconium,.... When the apostles were got thither, and as soon as they were there; at least the first opportunity they had:
that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews; which was in Iconium; hither Paul and Barnabas went together, in like manner as they had done at Antioch:
and so spoke; such words, and doctrines of grace, with so much power, authority, and demonstration of the Spirit, with so much plainness, clearness, and evidence, as well as with so much boldness and courage:
that a great multitude, both of the Jews, and also of the Greeks, believed: the doctrines they preached, and in Christ the sum and substance of them; and these were not a few, but a great multitude; and not of one sort, of the Jews only, who expected the Messiah, but of the Greeks, or Gentiles also, who never heard of any; for by Greeks here are meant, not Jews born in Greece, speaking the Greek tongue, and using the Greek Bible, for these were called Hellenists, and not Greeks, but Heathens. These converts laid the foundation of a Gospel church state in this place; for that there was a church here, is certain from Acts 14:21 In the "first" century, Sosipater is said to be bishop, or pastor of this church, and also Tertius, who are both reckoned among the "seventy" disciples of Christ;
Acts 14:21- :. In the "third" century, Celsus was bishop of this church; and in the same century, several synods were held here, about the error of Novatus; and in the same century, Nicomes bishop of this place, assisted at the council at Antioch, which condemned the heresy of Samosatenus f: in the "fourth" century there was a church in this place, and Amphilochius was bishop of it, of whom Jerom g makes mention; and who read to him a book, concerning the deity and worship of the holy Spirit: in the "fifth" century, it was the metropolitan church of Lycaonia, and Valerianus and Onesiphorus presided over it: in the "sixth" century, a bishop of this church was present at the fifth Roman council under Symmachus: in the "seventh" century, it bore the character of metropolitan, and a bishop of it assisted at the sixth council at Constantinople, whose name was Paul: in the "eighth" century, Leo was bishop of it, who was present at the synod of Nice h; and after this we hear no more of it, the place falling into the hands of the Turks, who are now possessed of it: here, according to the Roman martyrology, Tryphena and Tryphosa, mentioned in
Romans 16:12 heard the Apostle Paul preach; and here the famous virgin and martyr, Thecla, was converted.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In Iconium - See the notes on Acts 13:51. In this place, and in Antioch and Lystra, Timothy became acquainted with Paul and his manner of life, 2 Timothy 3:10-11.
So spake - Spake with such power - their preaching was attended so much with the influence of the Spirit.
And also of the Greeks - Probably proselytes from the Greeks, who were in the habit of attending the synagogue.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIV.
Paul and Barnabas, having preached at Iconium with great
success, are persecuted, and obliged to flee to Lystra and
Derbe, 1-6.
Here they preach, and heal a cripple; on which, the people,
supposing them to be gods, are about to offer them sacrifices,
and are with difficulty prevented by these apostles, 7-18.
Certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, coming thither, induce
the people to stone Paul; who, being dragged out of the city as
dead, while the disciples stand around him, rises up suddenly,
and returns to the city, and the next day departs to Derbe,
19, 20.
Having preached here, he and Barnabas return to Lystra, Iconium,
and Antioch, confirming the disciples, and ordaining elders in
every Church, 21-23.
They pass through Pisidia and Pamphylia, 24.
Through Perga and Attalia, 25;
and sail to Antioch in Syria, 26.
When, having called the disciples together, they inform them of
the door of faith opened to the Gentiles, and there abode a
long time with the Church, 27, 28.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIV.
Verse Acts 14:1. In Iconium — See the conclusion of the preceding chapter.
So spake — και λαλησαι ουτως. With such power and demonstration of the Spirit, that a great multitude both of the Jews, genuine descendants of one or other of the twelve tribes, and also of the Greeks, ελληνων, probably such as were proselytes of the gate, believed, received the Christian religion as a revelation from God, and confided in its Author for salvation, according to the apostles' preaching.
