Contextual Overview

¹⁵This is a Message that the God of Israel gave me: "Take this cup filled with the wine of my wrath that I'm handing to you. Make all the nations where I send you drink it down. They'll drink it and get drunk, staggering in delirium because of the killing that I'm going to unleash among them." ¹⁷I took the cup from God 's hand and made them drink it, all the nations to which he sent me: Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, along with their kings and leaders, turning them into a vast wasteland, a horror to look at, a cussword—which, in fact, they now are; Pharaoh king of Egypt with his attendants and leaders, plus all his people and the melting pot of foreigners collected there; All the kings of Uz; All the kings of the Philistines from Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and what's left of Ashdod; Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites; All the kings of Tyre, Sidon, and the coastlands across the sea; Dedan, Tema, Buz, and the nomads on the fringe of the desert; All the kings of Arabia and the various Bedouin sheiks and chieftains wandering about in the desert; All the kings of Zimri, Elam, and the Medes; All the kings from the north countries near and far, one by one; All the kingdoms on planet Earth... And the king of Sheshak (that is, Babylon) will be the last to drink. ²⁷ "Tell them, ‘These are orders from God -of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel: Drink and get drunk and vomit. Fall on your faces and don't get up again. You're slated for a massacre.' ²⁸ "If any of them refuse to take the cup from you and drink it, say to them, ‘ God -of-the-Angel-Armies has ordered you to drink. So drink! ²⁹ "‘Prepare for the worst! I'm starting off the catastrophe in the city that I claim as my own, so don't think you are going to get out of it. No, you're not getting out of anything. It's the sword and nothing but the sword against everyone everywhere!'" The God -of-the-Angel-Armies' Decree.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the kings of Zimri,.... Of Arabia Felix, so called from Zimran, a son of Abraham by Keturah, Genesis 25:2; the same whom Pliny n calls Zamerenes;

and all the kings of Elam; or Persia; who are prophesied against in

Jeremiah 49:34;

and all the kings of the Medes; who commonly go together with the Persians.

n Nat. Hist. I. 6. c. 28.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Zimri - Probably a district between Arabia and Persia. “Elam” is put in Scripture for the whole of Persia.
