Ezekiel27:33

33 When thy wares went forth out of the seas thou filledst many people ; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches , and of thy merchandise.

Brought home from all Coasts.

Were Landed, brought on shoar for the Mart.

There was enough to supply to the full.

Numerous, stately, sumptuous Nations, though their prodigality was great, thou furnishedst them, hadst wares rich, and stately enough for all of them.

Such influence had thy vast Trade, that not only meaner men and subjects, but Kings themselves were made more wealthy by it.

i. e. All Kings of the known World, or Kings of Nations far off, as well as neighbouring Kings.

Marginal references: The greatness of thy Trade, the variety of thy wares brought from all parts, were thy own riches, and enricht all thou didst Trade with; Kings were enricht by Customs, and Tolls paid to them by the enriching their subjects, who thereby were fitter to pay Taxes, or by furnishing their treasuries with all the peculiar Treasures of Kings, the rare, and precious Jewels, which they esteem; and since we know some Kings did Trade too, by this Tyrus increast their Wealth.
