Ezekiel 26:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 26:9

7 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north ^aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, ^bking of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people.

8 He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will ^aheap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a¹ defense against you.

9 He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.

10 Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached.

11 With the hooves of his ^ahorses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground.

12 They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the ^amidst of the water.

13 ^aI will put an end to the sound of ^byour songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more.
