and all the foreign people
This phrase refers to the non-Israelite nations surrounding Judah. The Hebrew word for "foreign" is "goyim," often used to denote nations or peoples distinct from Israel. Historically, these foreign peoples were often in conflict with Israel, yet they were also part of God's broader plan. This inclusion signifies God's sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel, and His intention to hold all accountable to His divine justice.

all the kings of the land of Uz
The "land of Uz" is traditionally associated with the region where Job lived, as mentioned in the Book of Job. The exact location is uncertain, but it is generally thought to be east of Israel, possibly in Edom or northern Arabia. The mention of "all the kings" suggests a comprehensive judgment, indicating that no ruler or nation is exempt from God's scrutiny. This reflects the biblical theme that God is the ultimate King above all earthly rulers.

all the kings of the land of the Philistines
The Philistines were a significant group of people who lived along the coastal regions of Canaan. They were often in conflict with Israel, as seen in the accounts of Samson and David. The mention of "all the kings" emphasizes the totality of God's judgment. The Philistines, despite their power and influence, are subject to God's authority, reminding us that no earthly power can stand against God's will.

Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron
These were major cities of the Philistines, each with its own king. Ashkelon, Gaza, and Ekron were known for their strategic and economic importance. Archaeological findings have uncovered significant Philistine artifacts in these areas, confirming their historical significance. The specific mention of these cities highlights the thoroughness of God's judgment, as each city represents a center of Philistine power and culture.

and the remnant of Ashdod
Ashdod was another principal city of the Philistines. The term "remnant" suggests that Ashdod had already faced some form of destruction or decline, possibly due to previous conflicts or divine judgment. This phrase underscores the idea that God's judgment is both just and inevitable, even for those who might think they have escaped His notice. It serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of God's justice and the certainty of His plans.

(20) All the mingled people.--The word is all but identical with that used in Exodus 12:38 of the "mixed multitude" that accompanied the Israelites from Egypt, and in Nehemiah 13:3 of the alien population of Jerusalem. It occurs again in Jeremiah 25:24, Jeremiah 50:37, and Ezekiel 30:5, and is applied to the tribes of mixed races who were, in various degrees tributary to the state in connection with which they are named. Here the word probably refers to the Ionians or Carians whom Psammitichus, the father of Nechoh, had settled at Bubastis, and who served in his army as auxiliaries. (Herod. ii. 152, 154.)

Uz.--A district of Edom, famous as the scene of the great drama of the book of Job. It is commonly identified with the Arabia Deserta of classical geography. (See Notes on Job 1:1; Genesis 10:23.) . . .

Verse 20. - The mingled people; Septuagint, καὶ πάντας τοὺς συμμίκτους: Vulgate, et universes generaliter. The Hebrew 'erebh probably means, not "mingled [i.e. 'motley'] people," as the Authorized Version, but "foreign people," i.e. a body of men belonging to some particular nation intermixed or interspersed among those belonging to another. This explanation will account for the use of the word in all the passages in which it occurs (here and in ver. 24; also Exodus 12:38; Nehemiah 13:3; 1 Kings 10:15; Jeremiah 1:37; Ezekiel 30:5; and perhaps 2 Chronicles 9:14). The context here and in 1 Kings 10:15 seems to imply that the name was given especially to the tribes (probably Bedawin tribes) on the frontier of Judah towards the desert, though in Ezekiel 30:5 it is evidently applied to a people which in some sense belonged to Egypt. In Exodus 12:38 it may be doubted whether the phrase is used from the point of view of Egypt or of the Israelites; in Jeremiah 50:37 it is used of the foreigners in Babylon in 2 Chronicles 9:14 the Massoretic critics have pointed the consonants of the text wrongly ('arabh, Arabia, instead of 'erebh), but without injury to the sense; the Vulgate and Syriac have done the same in 1 Kings 10:15. The notion that the word means ' auxiliary troops" arises (as Thenius on 1 Kings 10:15 remarks) from the free rendering of the Targum at 1 Kings 10:15 and Jeremiah 50:37. Uz. The land associated with the name of Job, and probably east or south-east of Palestine, and adjacent to the Edomites of Mount Seir (Lamentations 4:21). Of the Philistines. Observe, Gath is alone omitted of the five Philistine towns (Joshua 13:3; 1 Samuel 6:17). It had been reduced to complete insignificance (Amos 6:2), through Uzziah's having "broken down" its walls (2 Chronicles 26:6), and is equally passed over in Amos (Amos 1:6-8), Zephaniah (Zephaniah 2:4), and Zechariah (Zechariah 9:5, 6). Azzah; i.e. Gaza, the Septuagint form (the G representing the initial ayin), which is everywhere else adopted by the Authorized Version. The remnant of Ashdod. A significant phrase, which can be explained from Herodotus (2:157): For twenty-nine years Psamnutichus "pressed the siege of Azotus without intermission." We can imagine that he would not be disposed to lenient dealings with the town upon its capture. (An earlier and shorter siege of Ashdod is mentioned in Isaiah 20.)
