Jeremiah25:22
22 And all the kings of Tyrus , and all the kings of Zidon , and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea .
Tyrus was a strong City upon the Borders of the Tribe of Asher, Iosh. 19.29. 2 Sam. 24.7. a very rich City, and a Kingdom, with the King of which (who was Hyram) Solomon in his time traded much, 2 Chron. 2.3. Isaiah prophesied its ruine, Isaiah 23.1. so did Ezek. chap. 27.28, 29. it was destroyed by Nebuchadrezzar, Ezek. 29 18.
Zidon was nigh to it therefore we shall ordinarily find Tyre and Zidon joined together in Scripture, both Isaiah and Ezekiel, as well as this Prophet prophesied their ruine.
By the Isles beyond the Seas, some understand Greece and Italy, others Rhodes, Cyprus and Creta, but others think Nebuchadnezzar never conquered these, and rather understand those parts of Syria that coasted upon the Midland Sea.
