From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And the residue of the number -That is, those who shall be left in the invasion. Or perhaps it may be read, ‘There shall be a renmant of the number of bowmen; the mighty people of Kedar shall be diminished.’ Of archers -Hebrew, ‘Of the bow;’ that is, of those who use bows in war. The bow was the common instrument in hunting and in war among the ancients. Shall be diminished -Hebrew, ‘Shall be made small;’ they shall be reduced to a very small number.
