The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
The troops of Tema turning to look and the companies of Sheba lingering in wait portray desert travelers fixing their hope on relief they expect to find ahead. Their looking is eager expectation, and their waiting is dependence on a promised supply to meet thirst and need on the journey. In that picture is assurance that God watches over his people and brings deliverance when trouble presses. The expected supply does not fail as a figure of his care, for he provides rescue and sustenance to those who look to him in distress.
