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.

Jeremiah 25:22 In-Context

20 and all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gazah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21 Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon;

22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles that are beyond the sea;

23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that have the corners [of their beard] cut off;

24 and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert;
