Psalms 83:8

Compare all

6 ^aThe tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;

7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assyria also has joined with them;
They have helped the children of Lot. Selah

9 Deal with them as with ^aMidian,
As with ^bSisera,
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon,

10 Who perished at En Dor,
^aWho became as refuse on the earth.

11 Make their nobles like ^aOreb and like Zeeb,
Yes, all their princes like ^bZebah and Zalmunna,

12 Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.”

Psalms 83:8

Asser also is joined - The Ammonites might have got those auxiliaries from beyond the Euphrates, against Jehosphaphat, as formerly they were brought against David. See II Samuel 10:16.

They have holpen the children of Lot - The Ammonites, who appear to have been the chief instigators in this war.
