Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:10-11

The prophet here leaves the allegory of the ship to describe the armies of the Tyrians composed of mercenary soldiers.Ezekiel 27:10Persia - The name of this people does not occur in the more ancient books of the Old Testament; but in the books of the exile and after the exile it is frequent. This exactly corresponds with the record of history. It was just at the time that Ezekiel wrote that the rude and warlike people of Persia were rising into notice, soon about to seize, under Cyrus, the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 27:8-11

Ezekiel 27:8-11. The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners So great was the opulence and pride of the Tyrians, that they hired foreigners to do the more laborious and menial employments, and would do nothing else themselves than steer the vessels, priding themselves on being the most able pilots. Of Zidon, see note on Isaiah 23:4, and of Arvad, on Jeremiah 49:23. The ancients of Gebal, &c., were thy calkers Thou employedst the inhabitants of Gebal for calking thy ships,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 27:1-36

Mourning for Tyre (27:1-36)This chapter continues the theme of Tyre’s overthrow. It is in the form of a funeral song that Tyre’s trading partners sing as they mourn the city’s death (27:1-2).The song begins by recalling the glory of Tyre’s past. The prosperous commercial city is likened to a magnificent merchant ship, beautifully made from best quality materials taken from all parts of the trading world. Her planks, masts, oars and decking were made of the best timbers, her sails from the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 27:11

Ezekiel 27:11. Gammadims— Tutelar images. Spencer. Fuller supposes these Gammadims to have been Phoenicians. The Hebrew word גמדים gammadim is derived from גמד gamad, which signifies to be contracted, narrowed, &c. and Parkhurst is of opinion that these people were the inhabitants of the country about Tripoli in Syria, formerly called the Αγχων or Elbow of Phoenicia, from its being narrowed, and projecting into the sea in that form. See Parkhurst on the word גמד gamad. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:10

10. Persia . . . Phut—warriors from the extreme east and west. Lud—the Lydians of Asia Minor, near the Meander, famed for archery ( :-); rather than those of Ethiopia, as the Lydians of Asia Minor form a kind of intermediate step between Persia and Phut (the Libyans about Cyrene, shielded warriors, :-, descended from Phut, son of Ham). hanged . . . shield . . . comeliness—Warriors hanged their accoutrements on the walls for ornament. Divested of the metaphor, it means that it was an honor to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 27:11

11. Gammadims—rather, as the Tyrians were Syro-Phoelignicians, from a Syriac root, meaning daring, "men of daring" [LUDOVICUS DE DIEU]. It is not likely the keeping of watch "in the towers" would have been entrusted to foreigners. Others take it from a Hebrew root, "a dagger," or short sword ( :-), "short-swordsmen." read more
