Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 26:1-21

Overthrow of Tyre (26:1-21)Tyre, on the Mediterranean coast of Phoenicia, just north of Palestine, was a leading commercial centre in the ancient world. The city was in two parts, one built on the mainland coast, the other on an island a short distance offshore. Tyre rejoiced at the fall of Jerusalem, for the way was now open for it to take over the important trade routes that passed through Jerusalem (26:1-2). The prophet announces that in the years ahead, armies from various nations will... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 26:12

Ezekiel 26:12. And they shall lay, &c.— The ruins of old Tyre contributed much to the taking of the new city; for with the stones, timber, and rubbish of it, Alexander built a bank or causey from the continent to the island; thereby literally fulfilling the words of the prophet. He was seven months in completing this work: but the time and labour were well employed, for by means hereof he was enabled to take and storm the city. See Bishop Newton on the Prophesies, vol. 1: and the note on... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 26:12

12. lay thy stones . . . timber . . . in . . . midst of . . . water—referring to the insular New Tyre (Ezekiel 26:3; Ezekiel 26:5; Ezekiel 27:4; Ezekiel 27:25; Ezekiel 27:26). When its lofty buildings and towers fall, surrounded as it was with the sea which entered its double harbor and washed its ramparts, the "stones . . . timbers . . . and dust" appropriately are described as thrown down "in the midst of the water." Though Ezekiel attributes the capture of Tyre to Nebuchadnezzar (see on... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 26:1-19

B. Judgment on Tyre 26:1-28:19"When Jerusalem finally fell in 586, the only states that were still resisting the Babylonians were Egypt and Tyre. It is not coincidental, therefore, that of the foreign nations addressed by Ezekiel, these two are singled out for the brunt of his oracular volleys." [Note: Block, The Book . . . 48, p. 32.] The length of this oracle reflects the great significance of Tyre at this time in Israel’s history. Tyre (lit. "rock") was the principle city of Phoenicia and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 26:12

Tyre’s enemies ("they") would take much spoil from the city and would push its physical remains into the sea (cf. Zechariah 9:3-4). God accomplished this by the hand of Alexander the Great who used the rubble from the mainland town to widen the causeway (mole) to the fortress on the peninsula. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-21

The Fall of Tyre PredictedThe desolation of Tyre is announced (Ezekiel 26:1-6), its siege by Nebuchadrezzar is vividly described (Ezekiel 26:7-14), a lamentation for its fall is put into the mouths of the princes of the sea (Ezekiel 26:15-18), and God’s threat of judgment is again repeated (Ezekiel 26:19-21).1. The eleventh year] 586 b.c. The month is not given, but the date must have been after the destruction of Jerusalem, in the fifth month of that year (2 Kings 25:8): see Ezekiel 26:2. 2.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 26:1-26

§ 2. Tyre (and Sidon) (Ezekiel 26-28)Tyre was the capital of Phoenicia, the seaboard country on the NW. of Palestine. The Phoenicians were the great mariners of the ancient world, and Tyre was a famous seaport, renowned for its wealth and splendour. It joined in the league against Nebuchadrezzar, and was besieged by him for thirteen years (597-584 b.c.). See Intro. Ezekiel predicts its overthrow in three prophecies, one in general terms (Ezekiel 26), one describing Tyre under the figure of a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 26:12

(12) They shall make.—In Ezekiel 26:12 the nominative changes. It is no longer Nebuchadnezzar who does these things, but “they.” This may intimate that the prophet’s vision now again passes beyond the immediate future to the long succession of calamities, beginning indeed with Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest, with which Tyre was to be visited. The “spoil” and “prey” is to be understood more of what the Tyrians lost than of what the conquerors gained. In the long-continued sieges to which the city was... read more

Ezekiel 26:15 'Conquerors,' says Carlyle in his essay on Burns, 'are a class of men with whom, for most part, the world could well dispense; nor can the hard intellect, the unsympathizing loftiness, and high but selfish enthusiasm of such persons inspire us in general with any affection; at best it may excite amazement; and their fall, like that of a pyramid, will be beheld with a certain sadness and awe.' read more
