Commentary
Commentary on Ezekiel 26:7
Theological / DevotionalNebuchadrezzar. This spelling more nearly resembles the Babylonian original, Nabu-kudurri-usur, than the spelling Nebuchadnezzar (see on Dan. 1:1).
King of kings. Daniel applies the same title to Nebuchadnezzar (Dan. 2:37). Persian kings adopted it (see Ezra 7:12), as can be seen from the inscriptions.
From the north. Indicating the direction of the invasion (see on Jer. 1:14).
With horses. The various divisions of the army named are all land forces. We find no record of any naval force being employed such as would have facilitated the capture of the insular city. The siege lasted 13 years. Nebuchadnezzar completely destroyed the city on the mainland, but was unsuccessful in taking island Tyre. An agreement was reached by which Tyre accepted the overlordship of Babylon.
