Ezekiel 26:1-2
Summary for Ezek 26:1-28:19: 26:1–28:19 a The message against Tyre, Israel’s northwestern neighbor, is much more substantial than the short oracles preceding it. It takes the form of three nearly parallel panels (26:2-21 b; 27:1-36 c; and 28:1-19 d), each presenting a variation on the same message—that Tyre would come to a horrible end and exist no more (27:36 e). 26:1 f February 3, 585 BC was about seven months after the fall of Jerusalem.26:2 g Like its neighbors, Tyre rejoiced over the fall of Jerusalem, which eliminated a rival trading center and potentially opened up new trade routes and markets for Tyre.
