“The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;”
The coalition members are enumerated: "the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites." The naming of specific nations (Edom, Ishmael, Moab, Hagar's descendants) represents a coalition of traditional enemies surrounding Israel. The mention of tents suggests nomadic or semi-nomadic peoples.
