But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
Ver. 10. Therefore I will send a fire upon the walls of Tyrus] This was fulfilled shortly after in the war that Shalmaneser waged against the Tyrians, whereof see Joseph. lib. ix. chap. 14. Or in Nebuchadnezzar's war with them, whereof read Eze 29:18 Jeremiah 27:3; Jeremiah 47:4. Joseph. cont. Apion, lib. 2. Or Alexander's, Curt. lib. 4; Justin. lib. 11. It is good for men to tremble at God's judgments while they hang in the threatenings, as Josiah did; and not to tempt the Spirit of the Lord, as Ananias and Sapphira did, Acts 5:9, by putting it to the proof, whether he will be dicti sui Dominus, as good as his word.
