Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:8-9

“He will slay with the sword your daughters in the surrounding countryside, and he will make forts against you, and cast up a mount against you, and raise up the buckler (large body shield) against you, and he will set his battering-engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.” All the devices of ancient warfare would be applied against Tyre. The villages around would be laid waste. Siege forts/walls would be built and a mount to make the defenders more... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:10-11

“Because his horses are so abundant their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter a city in which a breach has been made. With the hooves of his horses he will tread down all your streets, he will slay your people with the sword, and the pillars of your strength will collapse to the ground.” The contrast goes on. The horsemen would be so many that the dust raised by their hooves... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:12

“And they will make a spoil of your riches, and make a prey of your merchandise, and they will break down your walls, and destroy your pleasant houses, and they will lay your stones, and your timber, and your dust in the midst of the waters.” The riches from trade and merchanting would become a spoil for the invaders, their proud buildings a ruin, and these would be tossed into the harbour. This would no doubt be true to some extent under Nebuchadnezzar, but later, in the time of Alexander the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:13-14

“And I will make the noise of your songs cease, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more. You will be a place for spreading nets, and you will be built no more. For I Yahweh have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ The prophecy looks far into the future, when Tyre’s destiny would be fulfilled. In the end all merriment and music would cease as it became unpeopled and Tyre would disappear from history, and its proud island fortress would become a bare rock for fishermen to spread their... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-21

Ezekiel 26. Siege and Destruction of Tyre.— Tyre is the incarnation of unrestrained commercialism; and, in the mind of Ezekiel her doom is justified by the malicious joy with which she hailed the fall of Jerusalem, whom, as “ the gate of the peoples,” she regarded as in some sort a rival, taxing, if not partially intercepting, the trade that passed between the south and Tyre ( Ezekiel 26:1-Joshua :). The agent of Tyre’ s destruction is to be Nebuchadrezzar, against whom she had rebelled. At... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:1

The eleventh year of Jeconiah’s captivity, the year wherein Jerusalem was taken. The first day of the month; that month which followed the taking of Jerusalem, i.e. the fifth month; for Jerusalem was taken on the fourth month, ninth day, and in twenty days after the news was brought to Tyrus, which behaved herself as the prophet will declare. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:2

Tyrus; the city for the people; it is probable it was a universal joy, therefore ascribed to the whole city, built on a rock and island of the same name, not far distant from the continent, a very great traded port and city. Hath said; either God revealed this to the prophet so soon as these insulting Tyrians spoke it, or else Ezekiel speaks of it prophetically, and as if it were done. Said against Jerusalem, Aha; showed great joy at the fall of Jerusalem, and triumphed over her. She is broken... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:3

I am against thee; and if God be against them, they will soon have enemies enough too against them: God purposeth, threateneth, and assureth them he is and will be against them. Many nations, for number, and mighty for strength, riches, authority, and feats of war already done. As the sea causeth his waves to come up, with such violence, constancy, swelling in height, and making thee fear the issue, so shall the Babylonians come. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:4

Destroy; batter and demolish with their mighty engines, which shall shake, disjoint, and beat down the strongest parts of their walls. Break down; undermine, that they may tumble at once, or employ hands to take them down, as men pull down buildings. Towers; watch-towers, and those that were for defence and safety of their city, which from their greatness have their name, Migdol. I will also scrape her dust from her; I will leave thee nothing, thou shalt be scraped, and brushed, and swept, that... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:5

As barren sandy islets in the midst of the sea, good for nothing but to dry fishermen’s nets, shalt thou be. A spoil; a prey: though the contexture of the words place this after its being made so bare and poor, yet we are to observe, that these last words give us account how this poverty and barrenness shall come upon thy rich city; the nations shall spoil her with thirteen years’ long siege, interruption of trade, living on the quick stock, and finally taken on surrender. To the nations;... read more
