“Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;”
More coalition members are listed: "Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre." The addition of further enemies (Gebal, Ammon, Amalek, Philistia, Tyre) creates a comprehensive picture of Israel surrounded by hostility from all directions. The list suggests a coordinated assault rather than isolated attacks.
