Job 1:14      Job 1:16

Job 1:15

the Sabeans [a people from the south; Sheba was a grandson of Abraham who moved eastward, see Gen. 25:3, 6] attacked us, carried off the animals, and killed all your servants (literally, "young men") with the sword. I, the only survivor, escaped to tell you this."
[The Sabeans were a tribe from Sheba, present-day Yemen in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. They were merchants, see Job 6:19. Later it is mentioned that they were unusually tall, see Isa. 45:14. The Queen of Sheba was also probably from here, see 1 Kings 10:1. The time seems to be late autumn, since the oxen were plowing. In total, Job had 1,000 oxen and 500 female donkeys. All of them were stolen by these pirates, who also killed the servants during the attack. This is the first of four misfortunes that befall Job.]
