Psalm 83 & the confederacy of hate
The nations where the ten ancient people groups and tribes mentioned in Psalm 83 live today, are Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the Palestinian territories within Israel. (David Dolan - "Israel's Next War") Others believe that while some of these nations are easy to trace, others are more speculative.
'We do know that Assyria is the same as modern-day Iraq.
And that the Ishmaelites, descended from Abraham and Hagar, were the progenitors of the Arabs.
We know the Edomites and the Amalekites were descendents of Esau,and the Moabites and Ammonites from Lot, but to trace them today is well-nigh impossible.
The Philistines inhabited the area now known as the Gaza Strip.
The city of Tyre was located in what is now Lebanon.
Gebal is the same as ancient Gubla or Byblos, located in Phoenica.
Some sources list the Hagarites as descendents of Hagar, and therefore a segment of Ishmaelites, but the identification is not positive...

It is interesting that the Irish discovery of psalms opened to Psalm 83. I would even say it was prophetic.
