Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The isles - Rightly explained in the margin; it probably refers here to Cyprus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 25:22. Tyrus and - Zidon — The most ancient of all the cities of the Phoenicians.

Kings of the isles which are beyond the sea. — As the Mediterranean Sea is most probably meant, and the Phoenicians had numerous colonies on its coasts, I prefer the marginal reading, the kings of the region by the sea side.
