Glory of the kedar shall fail

Next in the same Chapter of the book of Isaiah 21:16-17 there is a mention about Arabia, as in verse 16 : "For thus hath the Lord said unto me, within a year,  according to the years of an hireling and all the glory of the kedar shall fail: and the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar *shall be diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it  (Isaiah 21 : 16-17)

Exactly a year after the Prophet's arrival in Medina after the battle of Badr, all the glory of the children of Kedar (the Qureishites) was shattered: seventy of their chiefs were killed and seventy captured alive, and many wounded children of Kedar were the progeny of Ishmael., both according to Torah, and history, Christian doctors agree to this.

note:

* the editors of the Bible, in the copy under reference, have captioned this prophecy  by the heading of ARABIA. This is because the prophecy opens with the words: "The Burden of Arabia", thus what follows here exclusively refers to Arabs and Arabia. The word Burden is used to denote that some very important event concerning the land or the people is being mentioned. The most important event, that surpasses all others in its importance, happening in the land  of Arabia, and through it in the entire world history, is the prophethood of the Last Prophet. A blessing for the entire humanity, (pbuh), for all time. And the most crucial event of the life of the Prophet, was the defeat of the 'Sons of Kedar' , at Badr after a year of Hijrah, which marks the Islamic Calendar as also Arabian Calendar to this day.

Kedar, as has been annotated elsewhere, has been spoken of as an Arab in the Bible, so it leaves no doubt that Abraham, Ishmael, Kedar, and his children lived and continued to live at Mecca, in Hijaz, in Arabia, and that in doing so they lived in Paran, in Beer Sheba of the Bible, which are the olden names of this very place, varicusly reported.
