Job 6:19
"The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

The troops of Tema looked,.... A city in Arabia, so called from Tema a son of Ishmael, Gen 25:15 ; these troops or companies were travelling ones, either that travelled

to Tema, or that went from thence to other places for merchandise, see Isa 21:13 ; these, as they passed along in their caravans, as the Turks their successors now do, looked at those places where in the wintertime they observed large waters frozen over, and covered with snow, and expected to have been supplied from thence in the summer season, for the extinguishing of their thirst: the companies of Sheba waited for them: another people in Arabia, which went in companies through the deserts, where being in great want of water for their refreshment, waited patiently till they came to those places, where they hoped to find water to relieve them, which they had before marked in the wintertime.
