Tyre 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 ."
