A fire, as Amos 1:7 : see Ezekiel's prophecy against Tyre (26). She had long been tributary to Assyria, but, revolting, was punished by Sargon, and later was attacked by Nebuchadnezzar, who besieged it for thirteen years, with what success is not known. The Assyrian monuments afford no account of its capture by this monarch (comp. Isaiah 23:1-18.; Jeremiah 47:4; Arrian; Jeremiah 2:16-24). (For its capture and destruction by Alexander the Great, see notes on Zechariah 9:2, Zechariah 9:4.)

Amos 1:11, Amos 1:12
