^{20 Ref} and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

^{21 Ref} Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

^{22 Ref} and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
