And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:
And then the coast turneth to Ramah - now el-Hamra, which stood where the Leontes (Litany) ends its southern course, and flows westward.

This is the first Scriptural notice of Tyre, which was of later origin than Zidon (Hengstenberg, 'De reb Tyr.,' pp. 6, 7).
