Cedar and Asor were parts of Arabia; which, with Moab, Ammon, Edom, were all brought under the yoke of Nabuchodonosor. (Challoner) We know nothing of the situation of Asor, which means "a court. "(Calmet) It might be the flying camp (Theodoret) of the Saracens, (St. Jerome, in Isaias xxi. 16.) who dwelt under tents like the hordes of Tartars, the Ethiopian emperor, and the mogul. Yet this seems to have been a fixed habitation, ver. 30, 33. East; the Desert Arabia, ver. 32. (Calmet) Cedar was the son of Ismael, and Asor the chief city of the Agarens. (Worthington)
