Ezekiel 32:30 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.

There be the princes of the north - Syria, which is still called by the Arabs the north; or the Tyrians, north of Palestine, conquered by Nebuchadnezzar, (Ezekiel 26:1-21; Ezekiel 27:1-36; Ezekiel 28:1-26.) (Grotius.)

And all the Zidonians - who shared the fate of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:21).

With their terror they are ashamed of their might - i:e., notwithstanding the terror which they inspired in their contemporaries, they are confounded in the expectations which they had of security, owing to their might. "Might" is connected by Maurer thus, 'Notwithstanding the terror which resulted from their might.'
