Hazor, in this context, refers to a region or group of settlements in the Arabian desert, not the Canaanite city. These groups were known for their wealth and trade, often living in relative isolation. Their mention here highlights their impending judgment and the reach of Babylon's power.which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated Nebuchadnezzar II was a powerful Babylonian king who expanded his empire significantly. His campaigns against various nations, including those in the Arabian Peninsula, were part of his strategy to control trade routes and resources. This historical context underscores the fulfillment of God's judgment through a powerful earthly ruler, demonstrating God's sovereignty over nations.this is what the LORD says This phrase introduces a divine oracle, emphasizing that the message is not merely a human prediction but a declaration from God. It underscores the prophetic authority of Jeremiah and the certainty of the events described. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) signifies the covenant-keeping God of Israel, who is also sovereign over all nations.“Rise up, advance against Kedar The command to "rise up" and "advance" indicates a call to action, often used in military contexts. It suggests urgency and divine initiative in executing judgment. The focus on Kedar highlights their vulnerability despite their wealth and nomadic lifestyle, which they might have thought provided security.and destroy the people of the east! The "people of the east" refers to various tribes and nations east of Israel, including Kedar and Hazor. The command to "destroy" indicates total defeat, reflecting the comprehensive nature of divine judgment. This phrase connects to other biblical prophecies where God uses nations to execute His judgment (<a href="/isaiah/13-17.htm">Isaiah 13:17</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/25-4.htm">Ezekiel 25:4</a>).

In PP. 120:5 it appears as the representative of the fierce nomadic life of the Arabians. Hazor appears as the name of many cities in Palestine (<a href="/joshua/11-1.htm" title="And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,">Joshua 11:1</a>; <a href="/joshua/15-23.htm" title="And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,">Joshua 15:23</a>; <a href="/joshua/19-36.htm" title="And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,">Joshua 19:36</a>), but the combination with Kedar points to quite a different region. The probable explanation is that Jeremiah uses the term (as a like word, haz?rein, is used in <a href="/isaiah/42-11.htm" title="Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar does inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.">Isaiah 42:11</a> for the "villages" of Kedar) for the region in which the Kedar Arabs had ceased to be nomadic, and had made a permanent settlement. According to Niebuhr (Assur u. Bab., p. 210) it answers to the modern Hadschar in the angle formed by the southern course of the Euphrates and the Persian Gulf. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/49.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 28-33. - Against the nomad and partly settled Arabs - the former described under the name Kedar (see on Jeremiah 2:10), the latter under that of Hazor (connected with hazer, an unwalled village; comp. <a href="/leviticus/25-31.htm">Leviticus 25:31</a>). This use of Hazer is remarkable; elsewhere the name denotes towns in Palestine (<a href="/joshua/11-1.htm">Joshua 11:1</a>; <a href="/joshua/15-23.htm">Joshua 15:23</a>; <a href="/nehemiah/11-33.htm">Nehemiah 11:33</a>). There are two plainly marked strophes, vers. 28-30 and 31-33, both beginning with a summons to the foe to take the field. Verse 28. - Hazer (i.e. the settled Arabs) is said to have kingdoms. "King" is used in Hebrew in a wider sense than we are accustomed to (comp. <a href="/jeremiah/25-24.htm">Jeremiah 25:24</a>, "All the kings of Arabia"). The "kings" of Hazer would be mere sheikhs or emirs. Shall smite; rather, smote. There is no justification whatever for the future. The statement is obviously a later addition, to show that the prophecy was fulfilled. On the form "Nebuchadrezzar," see on Jeremiah 21:2. The men of the east.
