Commentary on Ezekiel 26:3

Theological / Devotional

Many nations. Perhaps, here, Nebuchadnezzar and “all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion,” that is, his allies (see Jer. 34:1). Or the prophet may be viewing the centuries ahead. Following Nebuchadnezzar’s destruction of the mainland city, successive conquests further reduced the proud city. Tyre became a part of the Persian Empire, though maintaining a partly independent status. Later it was ruled by the Macedonians, then the Romans.
