John Gill Commentary Psalms 83:7

"Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre:" — Psalms 83:7 (ASV)

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.
