a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles, in a direct
line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon was the oldest Phoenician
city, but Tyre had a longer and more illustrious history. The commerce of the
whole world was gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were
the first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and they founded
their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring islands of the AEgean Sea, in
Greece, on the northern coast of Africa, at Carthage and other places, in
Sicily and Corsica, in Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of
Hercules at Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of David a friendly
alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the Tyrians, who were long
ruled over by their native kings (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Kings 5:1; 2 Chr. 2:3). Tyre
consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the mainland, called "Old
Tyre," and the city, built on a small, rocky island about half-a-mile distant
from the shore. It was a place of great strength. It was besieged by
Shalmaneser, who was assisted by the Phoenicians of the mainland, for five
years, and by Nebuchadnezzar (B.C. 586-573) for thirteen years, apparently
without success. It afterwards fell under the power of Alexander the Great,
after a siege of seven months, but continued to maintain much of its commercial
importance till the Christian era. It is referred to in Matt. 11:21 and Acts
12:20. In A.D. 1291 it was taken by the Saracens, and has remained a desolate
ruin ever since. "The purple dye of Tyre had a worldwide celebrity on account
of the durability of its beautiful tints, and its manufacture proved a source
of abundant wealth to the inhabitants of that city." Both Tyre and Sidon "were
crowded with glass-shops, dyeing and weaving establishments; and among their
cunning workmen not the least important class were those who were celebrated
for the engraving of precious stones." (2 Chr. 2:7,14). The wickedness and
idolatry of this city are frequently denounced by the prophets, and its final
destruction predicted (Isa. 23:1; Jer. 25:22; Ezek. 26; 28:1-19; Amos 1:9, 10;
Zech. 9:2-4). Here a church was founded soon after the death of Stephen, and
Paul, on his return from his third missionary journey spent a week in
intercourse with the disciples there (Acts 21:4). Here the scene at Miletus was
repeated on his leaving them. They all, with their wives and children,
accompanied him to the sea-shore. The sea-voyage of the apostle terminated at
Ptolemais, about 38 miles from Tyre. Thence he proceeded to Caesarea (Acts
21:5-8). "It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1500, and claiming,
according to Herodotus, to have been founded about B.C. 2700. It had two ports
still existing, and was of commercial importance in all ages, with colonies at
Carthage (about B.C. 850) and all over the Mediterranean. It was often attacked
by Egypt and Assyria, and taken by Alexander the Great after a terrible siege
in B.C. 332. It is now a town of 3,000 inhabitants, with ancient tombs and a
ruined cathedral. A short Phoenician text of the fourth century B.C. is the
only monument yet recovered."
