George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 26:5
Sea. St. Jerome explains this of New Tyre; Marsham of the Old. To reconcile the different texts, we only need to suppose that both cities were connected by a road thrown up in the sea by Hiram, and repaired by Nabuchodonosor with great labour, (chap. xxix. 18.) after it had been destroyed by the inhabitants of New Tyre, when they saw the old city on the continent fall a prey.

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 26:8
Daughters. Many towns were subject to Tyre: almost all Ph'9cnicia acknowledged her dominion, as well as (Calmet) the seas to which her fleets went, ver. 15. (Selden, Mare i. 6.; Curtius iv.) --- These smaller cities shall fall, and the town shall be of no service except to dry nets. (Worthington) read more

Engines. Literally, "vine." (Haydock) --- A covert was thus made for the soldiers, (Veget. iv. 15.) when they approached the walls. (Menochius) read more

Statues. The citizens chained the golden statue of Apollo to the altar of Hercules, for fear of its leaving them, when Alexander [the Great] attacked the town. (Curtius iv.) --- Hiram placed a pillar of gold in the temple of Hercules. (Josephus, contra Apion i.) --- Herodotus (ii. 44.) saw another also of emerald stone, ( Greek: smaragdon ) which illuminated the temple in the night. On such the Tyrian might depend; though some render, "the substance or guard of thy strength," denoting the... read more

More, for seventy years, Isaias xxiii. 15. The people returned at the same time as the Jews. (The year of the world 3468.) Soon after, Zacharias (chap. ix.) speaks of Tyre as then subsisting. It was very strong in Alexander's time, (who took it with difficulty, as Antigonus did eighteen years later) and had a very extensive commerce when St. Jerome wrote. But all this must be understood of New Tyre. The old city never regained much splendour. (Calmet) --- It is still in ruins. A modern... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-14
1-14 To be secretly pleased with the death or decay of others, when we are likely to get by it; or with their fall, when we may thrive upon it, is a sin that easily besets us, yet is not thought so bad as really it is.

He often blasts the projects of those who would raise themselves on the ruin of others. The maxims most current in the trading world, are... read more

Up. Nabuchodonosor besieged the city for thirteen years. The profane historians read by St. Jerome took no notice of this; but Josephus quotes several. (Antiquities x. 11., and contra Apion i.) (Calmet) read more
