Contextual Overview

15 For the Lord, the God of Israel, says to me, "Take this cup of the wine of anger from My hand. And make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. 16 They will drink and have trouble walking and become crazy because of the sword that I will send among them." 17 So I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it. 18 I was sent to Jerusalem and to the cities of Judah, to its kings and its leaders, to make them a waste, an object of fear and hate, and a curse, as it is this day. 19 I was sent to Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his sons, and to all his people. 20 I was sent to all the people from different countries, all the kings of the land of Uz, and to all the kings of the land of the Philistines (Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and those left of Ashdod). 21 I was sent to Edom, Moab, the sons of Ammon, 22 and to all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and to the kings of the lands across the sea. 23 I was sent to Dedan, Tema, Buz, to all who are far away in their lands, 24 to the kings of Arabia, and to all the kings of the different people who live in the desert.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the mingled people,.... Not the Arabians, who are mentioned afterwards, Jeremiah 25:24; but rather a mixed people in the land of Egypt, such as came out of it along with the Israelites; or were near it, and bordered upon it, as the Targum; which renders it, all the bordering kings; or rather a mixture of people of different nations that dwelt by the sea coasts, either the Mediterranean, or the Red sea, as others think:

and all the kings of the land of Uz; not the country of Job, called by the Greeks Ausitis, as the Vulgate Latin version; but rather a country of Idumea, so called from Uz the son of Dishan, the son of Seir, Lamentations 4:21;

and all the kings of the land of the Philistines; the petty kings of it, called the lords of the Philistines elsewhere, who were great enemies to the people of the Jews: the prophecy of their destruction is in forty seventh chapter, and whose principal cities are next mentioned:

and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod; of Ashkelon, and the sword in it, and ruin, see Jeremiah 47:5. "Azzah" is the same with Gaza, whose destruction is also foretold in Jeremiah 47:1; see Acts 8:26; "Ekron" was another of the cities of the Philistines; see 1 Samuel 5:10; and "Ashdod" is the same with Azotus, another of their cities, Acts 8:40; called "the remnant of Ashdod", because the remains only of a once very strong and fortified place; but was so weakened and wasted by Psammiticus, king of Egypt, in a blockade of it, for the space of nine and twenty years k, before he took it, that when he had got in it, it was but as the carcass of a city, to what it was before l.

k Herodot. l. 2. c. 157. l Vid. Prideaux, Connexion, part 1. B. 1. p. 34.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The mingled people - Either auxiliaries; or, rather, a constituent portion of the people of Egypt, who were not of pure blood.

Azzah - i. e., Gaza.

The remnant of Ashdod - A sentence which none but a contemporary writer could have used. Psammetichus, after a siege of 29 years, had captured and destroyed Ashdod, except for a feeble remnant.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 25:20. All the mingled people — The strangers and foreigners; Abyssinians and others who had settled in Egypt.

Land of Uz — A part of Arabia near to Idumea. Job 1:1.
