Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:6

Her daughters; either the lesser cities, which were as daughters to Tyre, a phrase most familiar to the Scriptures; or else their virgins, and daughters of the family. In the field; on the firm land, if you mean cities; or surprised in the fields, whether taking the air, or seeking to escape, if you mean daughters in the latter sense. Shall be slain by the sword; barbarous soldiers shall spare none. They shall know that I am the Lord: see Ezekiel 25:17. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:7

I will bring: see Ezekiel 23:46. A king of kings; so he styled himself, according to the vaunting manner of those countries, and indeed, by the right of conquest, he was king of kings, having many tributary kings under him, and many captive kings with him in Babylon, 2 Kings 18:28; Jeremiah 52:32. From the north; so was Babylon accounted to lie, as observed, Ezekiel 1:4, though it did not lie full north, but had some points of the north from Tyre. With horses; those Eastern kings had store of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:8

See Ezekiel 26:6. Make a fort against thee: see Ezekiel 4:2; Ezekiel 17:17. Cast a mount against thee: he shall draw a line round about thee, and build bastions, raise sconces to defend the lines, to keep in the besieged, and secure the besiegers; or he shall pour out the shot, mighty stones or the like, out of the engines framed and placed on the forts before mentioned; for so did they of old build mighty wooden towers, and there placed engines, out of which they could fling mighty stones or... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:9

Engines of war: these were mighty engines, whatever form made of, and had their description here from the irresistible force wherewith they cast stones, and beat down all before them. Axes; whatever made of iron, and framed to demolish buildings: see Ezekiel 16:39. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:10

Their dust; the dust they raise in marching, or in their exercising, in riding to and fro; but whether while on the land, or when they entered the city, may be doubted. Shall cover thee; as a cloud it shall cover the city. Shall shake, as buildings do with great noise, motion. or beating on the ground. The wheels, of their engines, or wagons, or chariots. He shall enter into thy gates; Nebuchadnezzar, without fear, shall enter and possess his conquest, which Tyre at last yielded to him after... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:11

In proud, stately, and menacing posture shall the king of Babylon ride through all the streets of thy city, to the grief and sorrow of the Tyrians; and so shall his troops do too. He shall slay thy people; in the wars some of thy people shall fall by his sword; but that is no wonder; I rather think that it is meant of giving judgment against some of the most valiant, constant, and active citizens, which were the cause of the city’s holding out so long against Nebuchadnezzar, as he did with some... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:12

They; Chaldean soldiers. Make a spoil; hinder thy trade during the war, and plunder thee in the end of the war. Make a prey of thy merchandise; intercepting much, as it is coming to thee whilst besieged, and taking what they find, when they conquer. Break down thy walls: see Ezekiel 26:4,Ezekiel 26:9; there he speaks of the walls of the city, here of the walls of private houses, as appears by that which follows. Pleasant houses, that the Tyrians dwelt in with delight, or diverted themselves in... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:13

A populus, wealthy, ancient, and much frequented city, in the midst of great security, no doubt, had all sorts of music, and loud music on the water especially, and songs to their music; but God will dash it all. The sound of thy harps: this particular music mentioned as one of the noblest, and most in request, but no more shall be heard in Tyre after it is taken by Nebuchadnezzar. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:14

Ezekiel 14:4,Ezekiel 14:5. Thou shalt be built no more; either not this long time, or else not built in greatness and glory, or not raised to be a kingdom, or not by the inhabitants of old Tyre, or not with the same laws, customs, and usages; indeed, though there was a city of that name built, yet it was built on the continent, and in propriety of speech was another city, not old Tyre. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 26:1-21

THE FALL OF TYRE. (Chap. 26)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—“In four sections, commencing with the formula, ‘Thus saith the Lord,’ Tyre, the mistress of the sea is threatened with destruction. In the first strophe (Ezekiel 26:2-6) there is a general threat of its destruction by a host of nations. In the second (Ezekiel 26:7-14), the enemy is mentioned by name, and designated as a powerful one; and the conquest and destruction emanating from him are circumstantially described. In the third (Ezekiel 26:15-18),... read more
