And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
The kings of Arabia and the mingled people that dwell in the desert are named among the nations that must drain the cup filled with the wine of divine wrath. The cup is given to illustrate the fate of the nations and the meaning of the sentence of doom, because its awful import could scarcely be understood and a deeper impression needed to be made. Jerusalem and the cities of Judah with their kings drink first, then Pharaoh king of Egypt with his servants and his princes and his people, then many other nations of the earth including those named in the verse. All partake of the same cup of woe until God's purpose is fulfilled.
