- Psalms 60:1-12 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again. You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes. You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger. You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us. God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth. Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter. Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my sandal on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.” Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom? Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God. Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain. Through God we will do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

And Chesed,.... From whom it is generally thought sprung the Chaldees, who are commonly called Chasdim; but mention is made of the Chaldees before this man was born, unless they are called so by anticipation; See Gill on Gen 10:22,
and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel; of these men and their posterity we hear no more, excepting: the last, for whose sake the rest are mentioned. Hazo or Chazo settled in Elymais, a country belonging to Persia, where is now a city called Chuz after his name, and from whence the whole country is called Chuzistan; and the inhabitants of it are by the Assyrians called Huzoye or Huzaeans (r); the same which Strabo (s) makes mention of under the name of Cossaeans, who are described as a warlike people, inhabiting a barren and mountainous country, and given to spoil and robbery; and are mentioned by him along with Elymaeans, Medes, and Persians. Some Arabic writers say the Persians are from Pars, the son of Pahla; and Dr. Hyde (t) queries whether Pahla is not the same with Paldas, that is, Pildash, another of the sons of Nahor.

21. Huz… Buz… Aram — Uz, a son of Aram, is mentioned Gen_10:23, among the descendants of Shem, and the names Uz and Aran occur also among the Edomites, Gen_36:28. Buz is also mentioned in Jer_25:23. And it is noticeable that Job was of the land of Uz, (Job_1:1,) and Elihu was a Buzite of the kindred of Ram. Job_32:2. Nothing certain, however, can now be made out of these correspondencies, and it is well-known that names were often repeated in different lines of the same original family.

21. Uz his firstborn] In Gen_10:23 (P) Uz is the firstborn of Aram. Uz, as a locality in the Syrian region, is mentioned in Assyrian inscriptions. It may denote a branch of an Aramaean tribe, the Uṣṣâ of Shalmaneser II. It appears as the birthplace of Job (Gen_1:1). Whether it is the same Uz as is mentioned in Jer_25:20, Lam_4:21, is doubtful. Another, Edomite, Uz is mentioned in Gen_36:28.
Buz] See Jer_25:23, where the mention of Buz with Dedan and Tema seems to point to the borders of the Arabian desert. Elihu, the friend of Job, is a native of Buz (Job_32:2).

Aram] Here the son of Kemuel and nephew of Uz: in Gen_10:23 (P), Aram, the son of Shem, is the father of Uz. Evidently the traditions embodying the relationship of the tribes of the desert were current in very various forms.

Buz.—Probably he was the ancestor of Elihu (Job_32:2); but Buz, in Jer_25:23, seems to have been a region in Idumea.

Kemuel, the father of Aram.—He was not the progenitor of the Aramaic race, but the ancestor of the family of Ram, to which Elihu belonged (Job_32:2), Ram being the same as Aram (Keil). If so, Buz and Kemuel must have coalesced into one tribe.

Huz his firstborn, vide Gen_10:23, where Uz appears as a son of Aram; and Gen_36:28, where he recurs as a descendant of Esau. That he was a progenitor of Job (Jerome) has no better foundation than Job 1:1and Buz his brother, mentioned along with Dedan and Tema as an Arabian tribe, (Jer_25:23) and may have been an ancestor of Elihu (Job_32:2) and Kemuel the father of Aram. Not the founder of the Arameans, but the forefather of the family of Ram, to which the Buzite Elihu belonged; Aram being written for Ram, like Arammim, in 2Ki_8:29, for Rammim, in 2Ch_22:5." (Keil)
