Verse 30

There be the princes of the north ,..... The kings of Babylon, according to Kimchi, which lay north of Judea; or the princes of Syria, Damascus, and Tyre, especially the latter, which commonly goes along with Zidon, being near it, as follows:

and all the Zidonians . The Vulgate Latin version renders it, "and all the hunters"; but wrongly; as also the Septuagint and Arabic versions, which read the princes or soldiers of Assyria. The Zidonians or inhabitants of Zidon are meant as the Targum; a famous maritime city, as Tyre also was, in Phoenicia:

which are gone down with the slain ; into the grave, being conquered and destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar; see Ezekiel 28:21 ,

with their terror they are ashamed of their might , the number and strength of their armies, the valour and courage of their soldiers, and the fortifications of their cities, in which they trusted, and of which they boasted; but yet could not preserve them from ruin:

and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword ; in common with other profane and wicked persons that have fallen by the sword as they have done:

and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit ; See Gill on Ezekiel 32:24 .
