Gebal
Gubleans, or Gebalites, as the Targum; the same with Giblites, ( Joshua 23:5 ) ( 1 Kings 5:18 ) , or men of Gebal, ( Ezekiel 27:9 ) the same with Byblus: these dwelt in Phoenicia, near Tyre, where Pliny ^F7 makes mention of a place called Gabale: the Syriac version joins it with Ammon, and renders it "the border of Ammon":

and Ammon and Amalek, the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre;
these are well known in Scripture, and as the enemies of Israel.

Psalms 83:7 In-Context

5 With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance against you—

6 the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,

7 Byblos, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre.

8 Even Assyria has joined them to reinforce Lot’s descendants.

9 Do to them as you did to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
