**the eleventh year.** The month not given; but see [Jeremiah 39:1-7](../../../kjv/jeremiah/39/1-7) ; [Jeremiah 52:4-11](../../../kjv/jeremiah/52/4-11) . See note on [Ezekiel 30:20](../../../kjv/ezekiel/30/20) . Jerusalem fell probably in the fifth month, after the fall but before the destruction in that year of the Temple ([2 Kings 25:8](../../../kjv/2-kings/25/8) ). Compare [Ezekiel 26:2](../../../kjv/ezekiel/26/2) . This prophecy *began* to be fulfilled then, and Tyre was taken by Nebuchadnezzar after a thirteen years' siege (see [Isaiah 23:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/23/1) ), and Josephus (Antiquities x. 11, 1; *cont* . Apion, i. 20); but not completely fulfilled till later. Jehovah secs the end from the beginning, and speaks of it by way of prophetic foreshortening. "The day of Jehovah" ([Ezekiel 30:3](../../../kjv/ezekiel/30/3) ) looks forward to the end.
**the LORD** . Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**Son of man.** See note on [Ezekiel 2:1](../../../kjv/ezekiel/2/1) .
**Tyrus** = Tyre, the city. Now, *es Sur,* Hebrew, *tzur* = a rock,
**people** = peoples.
**she is turned:** i.e. the tide of her traffic.

**the Lord GOD** . Hebrew. *Adonai Jehovah* . See note on [Ezekiel 2:4](../../../kjv/ezekiel/2/4)
**Behold.** Figure of speech *Asterismos* . App-6 .

**the top of a rock** = a bare rock.

**the midst of the sea.** Tyre was on a promontory spreading out into the sea.
**saith the Lord GOD** = [is] Adonai Jehovah's oracle,

**Nebuchadrezzar.** Occurs thus spelled four times in this book (here; [Ezekiel 29:18](../../../kjv/ezekiel/29/18) , [Ezekiel 29:19](../../../kjv/ezekiel/29/19) ; and [Ezekiel 30:10](../../../kjv/ezekiel/30/10) ). See note on [Daniel 1:1](../../../kjv/daniel/1/1) .
**companies** = a gathered host.

**daughters which are in the field** = her daughter cities and towns inland.

**engines of war** = battering rams. Occurs only here.
**axes** = weapon

**garrisons.** or, pillars. Seen in vast numbers in the ruins to-day.

**thou.** The 1611 edition of tho Authorized Version reads "they". be built no more. Zidon's fate has boon different. Its extinction was not prophesied. See [Ezekiel 28:20-26](../../../kjv/ezekiel/28/20-26) .
**the LORD** . The Syriac and Vulgate, with some codices, and two early printed editions, omit "Jehovah" here.

**isles** = coastlands, or maritime countries.

**trembling.** Hebrew, plural = a great trembling.

**take up** = raise.
**a lamentation** = a dirge.
**that wast inhabited of seafaring men:** or, that west an abode from the seas. The Syriac *kataluo* means *to lodge* , and is the rendering of Hebrew. *yashab* in [Numbers 25:1](../../../kjv/numbers/25/1) .

**descend into the pit** . The people of Tyre are meant, as joining those who were dead and buried.
**and I shall set glory** . This is either a parenthetical contrast referring to Jerusalem (with which the prophecy begins, [Ezekiel 26:2](../../../kjv/ezekiel/26/2) ), or we may read, with Septuagint, "nor yet arise", &c, completing the end of Tyre, as in [Ezekiel 26:21](../../../kjv/ezekiel/26/21) .
**in the land of the living** . This expression occurs eight times without the Article ("the" living): here; [Ezekiel 32:23](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/23) , [Ezekiel 32:24](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/24) , [Ezekiel 32:26](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/26) , [Ezekiel 32:26](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/26) , [Ezekiel 32:27](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/27) , [Ezekiel 32:32](../../../kjv/ezekiel/32/32) ; and [Psalms 27:13](../../../kjv/psalms/27/13) . It occurs three times with the Article ("the living "). See note on [Isaiah 38:11](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/11) . In each case it refers to the condition of life, is contrast with " *Sheol* ', which is the condition of death.
