Vers. 5. When the fame comes to the Egyptians, they shall be sorry concerning the rumour of Tyre.

Vers. 5. When the fame comes to the Egyptians, they shall be sorie concerning the rumor of Tyrus.

BY this verse he signifies, that this fall of Tyre shall touch the Egyptians also: and thus the exposition which we follow, is confirmed; to wit, that these things ought to be referred to the first sacking of it. For those of Tyre were in league with the Egyptians, and both of them had their King: not as in the time of Alexander, at what time Tyre was a free City, and lived under her own laws. Now he could no way better express the society that was between them of Tyre and the Egyptians: and the reason why he shows that the Egyptians shall have their part in this destruction is, because they had solicited the Jews to rebel, and had turned them away from trusting in God. Those were open enemies: these under pretence of friendship,¹ entertained poisonfull hatreds. Both of them are justly punished.
