The riches and commerce of Tyrus26. The great and irrecoverable fall thereof The men of Sidon and Arvad Sidon and Arvad were ancient Phoenician cities known for their maritime prowess.

As Christians, we are called to lead with integrity and humility. Dependence on God While Tyre depended on its own resources and alliances, we are reminded to place our trust in God, who is the ultimate source of strength and guidance.(8) Arvad.--The description now turns to the sailors. The Arvadite is mentioned among the family of Canaan in Genesis 10:18, and corresponds to the Greek Aradus. There were two islands of this name: one in the Persian Gulf, the other (the one here intended) a rocky island north of the coast of Tripoli, on which a city was built like Tyre. The Ph?nician cities of Zidon and Arvad furnished the oarsmen, but Tyre itself the superior captains and pilots.Verse 8. - The two cities are named as tributaries of Tyro from which she drew her sailors, the Tyrians themselves acting as captains and pilots. Zidon (now Saida) is named in Genesis 10:15 as the firstborn of Canaan, and was older than Tyre itself (Isaiah 23:2, 12). Arvad is identified with the Greek Aradus, the modern Ruad, an island about two miles from the coast, about two miles north of the mouth of the river Eleutheros (Nahr-el-Kebir). It is scarcely a mile in circumference, but was prominent enough to be named here and in Genesis 10:18; 1 Chronicles 1:16. Opposite to it on the mainland was the town of Antaradus. For mariners, the Revised Version gives rowers. Parallel Commentaries ...
