all the kings of Tyre and Sidon
The mention of "Tyre and Sidon" refers to two prominent Phoenician city-states located along the Mediterranean coast, known for their wealth, trade, and maritime prowess. In the Hebrew text, Tyre is "צֹר" (Tzor) and Sidon is "צִידוֹן" (Tzidon). These cities were significant in the ancient world for their economic influence and were often mentioned in the Bible as centers of idolatry and pride (Ezekiel 28:2-23). Historically, Tyre was an island fortress, and Sidon was one of the oldest Phoenician cities. Their kings were powerful figures, and their inclusion in this prophecy underscores the comprehensive nature of God's judgment. Theologically, this highlights God's sovereignty over all nations, not just Israel, and serves as a reminder that no earthly power is beyond His reach.

the kings of the coastlands
The term "coastlands" (Hebrew: "אִיִּים" - 'iyim) refers to distant lands or islands, often associated with maritime regions. This phrase indicates the expansive scope of the prophecy, suggesting that God's judgment would extend beyond the immediate neighbors of Israel to include distant territories. In a broader biblical context, the coastlands often symbolize the far reaches of the known world (Isaiah 42:4). This serves as a powerful reminder of the universality of God's dominion and the far-reaching impact of His decrees. It also reflects the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations through trade and cultural exchange, emphasizing that no nation is isolated from divine accountability.

across the sea
The phrase "across the sea" (Hebrew: "עֵבֶר הַיָּם" - 'ever hayam) further emphasizes the extent of the prophecy's reach. The sea, often the Mediterranean in biblical texts, was a barrier and a conduit for interaction with distant lands. This expression signifies that the judgment would not be confined to the land of Israel or its immediate neighbors but would extend to those across the waters, symbolizing the breadth of God's judgment. In a spiritual sense, it underscores the idea that God's authority and concern are not limited by geographical boundaries. This serves as an inspirational reminder of the omnipresence and omnipotence of God, who governs all creation and whose plans encompass the entire world.

(22) The isles which are beyond the sea.--Better, island. The Hebrew word is in the singular, and is properly, as in the margin, a "region by the sea-side"--a "coast-land," and thus wider in its extent than our "island." Here the position in which it occurs tends to identify it either with Cyprus or the coast of Cilicia, or Ph?nician colonies generally in the Mediterranean. Cyprus seems the most probable of these.

Verse 22. - Kings of Tyrus, kings of Zidon. Under the names of the two leading cities, the prophet includes the various dependent Phoenician commonwealths. Hence the plural "kings." The isles. The Hebrew has the singular, "the isle," or rather, "the coast-laud" (more strictly, the region), i.e. perhaps either Tartessus in Spain, or Cyprus (which Esarhaddon describes as "lying in the midst of the sea," and as having two kings, 'Records of the Past,' 3:108).
