Jeremiah 25:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 25:22

And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon
Two very ancient cities in Phoenicia, frequently mentioned together in Scripture, being near each other. Their ruin is foretold in ( Jeremiah 47:4 ) ; and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea;
which some understand of Greece and Italy; others of Rhodes, Cyprus, and Crete, and other islands in the Mediterranean sea; the Cyclades, as Jerom: but the words may be rendered, "and the kings of the country by the seaside"; and may design those that dwell upon the coast of the Mediterranean sea.
