Ezekiel 32:30 - Exposition

There be the princes of the north . The noun for "princes" is different from that of Ezekiel 32:29 , and has the sense of "vassal rulers," as in Joshua 13:21 ; Micah 5:4 . So we have the "kings of the north" in Jeremiah 25:26 . The fact that they are coupled with the Zidonians (it is suggestive that Ezekiel names these rather than the Tyrians) points in the direction of Northern Syria, including cities like Damascus, Hamath, Arpad, and others.
