Job 6:19
_ _ the troops — that is, “caravans.”
_ _ Tema — north of Arabia-Deserta, near the Syrian desert; called from Tema son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:15; Isaiah 21:14; Jeremiah 25:23), still so called by the Arabs. Job 6:19, Job 6:20 give another picture of the mortification of disappointed hopes, namely, those of the caravans on the direct road, anxiously awaiting the return of their companions from the distant valley. The mention of the locality whence the caravans came gives living reality to the picture.
_ _ Sheba — refers here not to the marauders in North Arabia-Deserta (Job 1:15), but to the merchants (Ezekiel 27:22) in the south, in Arabia-Felix or Yemen, “afar off” (Jeremiah 6:20; Matthew 12:42; Genesis 10:28). Caravans are first mentioned in Genesis 37:25; men needed to travel thus in companies across the desert, for defense against the roving robbers and for mutual accommodation.
_ _ The companies ... waited for them — cannot refer to the caravans who had gone in quest of the waters; for Job 6:18 describes their utter destruction. |
Job 6:19
Tema — This place and Sheba were both parts of the hot and dry country of Arabia, in which waters were very scarce, and therefore precious and desirable, especially to travellers. Companies — Men did not there travel singly, as we do, but in companies for their security against wild beasts and robbers. |
Job 6:19
The troops of Tema (l) looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
(l) They who pass by it to go into the hot countries of Arabia, think to find water there to quench their thirst but they are deceived. |

1 Kings 10:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
Psalms 72:10 The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
Ezekiel 27:22-23 The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were] thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold. ... Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were] thy merchants.
