Behold: Eze 26:3-6 contain a summary prediction of what befell both the continental and insular Tyre, during a long succession of ages. The former was totally destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar, after a siege of thirteen years, bc 573; and the latter, which arose out of its ruins, after seventy years recovered its ancient wealth and splendour, as foretold by Isaiah ( Isa 23:15-17). After it was taken and burnt by Alexander, bc 332, it speedily recovered its strength and dignity, and nineteen years afterwards withstood both the fleets and armies of Antigonus. Agreeably to the prophetic declarations ( Psa 45:12; Psa 72:10. Isa 23:18. Zac 9:1-7), it was early converted to Christianity; and after being successively taken by the Saracens, Christians, Mamalukes, and Turks, in whose hands it still remains, it became "a place for the spreading of nets." I am: Eze 5:8, Eze 21:3, Eze 28:22, Eze 38:3; Jer 21:13, Jer 50:31; Nah 2:12 many: Mic 4:11; Zac 14:2 as the sea: Eze 27:26, Eze 27:32-34; Psa 93:3, Psa 93:4, Psa 107:25; Isa 5:30; Jer 6:23, Jer 51:42; Luk 21:25 Ezekiel 26:4
