Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 28:2

Ezekiel 28:2. I am a god— These words are an insolent boast of self-sufficiency; as if he had said, "I neither fear any prince, nor stand in need of any assistance; I am seated in a place of impregnable strength; the seas surround me; I am freed from the assaults of an enemy." See Isa 23:9 and Lowth. read more

2. Because, c.—repeated resumptively in Ezekiel 28:6. The apodosis begins at Ezekiel 28:7. "The prince of Tyrus" at the time was Ithobal, or Ithbaal II the name implying his close connection with Baal, the Phoelignician supreme god, whose representative he was. I am a god, I sit in . . . seat of God . . . the seas—As God sits enthroned in His heavenly citadel exempt from all injury, so I sit secure in my impregnable stronghold amidst the stormiest elements, able to control them at will, and... read more

3. Ezekiel ironically alludes to Ithbaal's overweening opinion of the wisdom of himself and the Tyrians, as though superior to that of Daniel, whose fame had reached even Tyre as eclipsing the Chaldean sages. "Thou art wiser," namely, in thine own opinion ( :-). no secret—namely, forgetting riches (Ezekiel 28:4). that they can hide—that is, that can be hidden. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 28:1-2

Ezekiel was to speak an oracle to the contemporary leader (Heb. nagid, prince, ruler, king) of Tyre in the Lord’s name, probably King Ethbaal II (also known as Ittobaal II and Ithobalus II, ca. 590-573 B.C.). As usual in political affairs, the king often represents the kingdom he served and even other kings that preceded him who possessed the same characteristics that he did. In this case, a spirit of pride marked the king as well as his nation.". . . the attack is not so much a personal... read more

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 28:3-5

Indeed, the king was a very wise man, wiser even than Daniel, who had revealed divine secrets to Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel had been in Babylon since 605 B.C., almost 20 years, so he was by this time well-known. Another possible interpretation is that the king thought he was wiser than Daniel, not that he knew of Daniel necessarily, but Ezekiel used Daniel as a standard of great wisdom. The king of Tyre had understanding of matters that were obscure to other people, or he believed that he did. His... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 28:1-19

The King of TyreThe overweening pride of the prince of Tyre, which has led him to claim to be a god, is rebuked, and his destruction by strangers is foretold (Ezekiel 28:1-10). He is compared to an inmate of Eden, the garden of God, who is cast out for his sin (Ezekiel 28:11-19).2. The prince of Tyrus] the king of Tyre at this time was Ithobalus (Ethbaal) II. 3.

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 28:1-26

§ 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 26:0), one describing Tyre under the figure of a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 28:2

(2) I am a God.—The arraignment of the prince occupies Ezekiel 28:2-5, his consequent doom Ezekiel 28:6-10. The point of the charge is inordinate pride, begotten of great prosperity; this prosperity, being attributed to his own powers instead of to its true source, led him to imagine himself almost more than mortal. Similar instances of what may be called “the insanity of prosperity” may be seen in the case of Sennacherib (2 Kings 18:33-35); of the then living monarch of Babylon,... read more
