And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, etc.] Two very ancient cities in Phoenicia, frequently mentioned together in Scripture, being near each other. Their ruin is foretold in (<244704>Jeremiah 47:4); and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea; which some understand of Greece and Italy; others of Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete, and other islands in the Mediterranean sea; the Cyclades, as Jerom: but the words may be rendered, “and the kings of the country by the seaside”; and may design those that dwell upon the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
