# the spirit of the Philistines and of the Arabians who were near the Cushites
|
|
|

The Philistines and the Arabians were two different nations. The Arabians lived southeast of Judah near the Cushites, and the Philistines lived west of Judah. These nations were stirred up separately. This can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "the spirit of the Philistines and the spirit of the Arabians who were near the Cushites" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
