7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadnezzar King of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north , with horses , and with chariots , and with horsemen , and companies , and much people .

Vid. chap. 23. ver. 46.

So he stiled himself according to the vaunting manner of those Countreys, and indeed, by the right of Conquest, he was King of Kings, having many Tributary Kings under him, and many Captive Kings with him in Babylon. 2 Kings. 18.28. Ier. 52.32.

So was Babylon accounted to lye, as observed, chap. 1. ver. 4. though it did not lie full North, but had some points of the North from Tyre.

Those Eastern Kings had store of horses, and used many in their Wars; see ver. 11.

See chap. 23. ver. 24. let. d.

See chap. 23. ver. 12.
