Gill's Notes on the Bible
With thy wisdom and with thy understanding thou hast gotten thee riches,.... Through skill in navigation and trade, for which the Tyrians and their princes were famous, they acquired great wealth: so antichrist, by carnal policy, and hellish subtlety, has amassed vast treasures together; the sale of pardons and indulgences has brought immense riches into the pope's coffers:
and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures; in great quantities; see Revelation 18:3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The prophecy against the prince of Tyre. Throughout the east the majesty and glory of a people were collected in the person of their monarch, who in some nations was worshipped as a god. The prince is here the embodiment of the community. Their glory is his glory, their pride his pride. The doom of Tyre could not be complete without denunciation of the prince of Tyre. Idolatrous nations and idolatrous kings were, in the eyes of the prophet, antagonists to the true God. In them was embodied the principle of evil opposing itself to the divine government of the world. Hence, some of the fathers saw upon the throne, not simply a hostile monarch, but âthe Prince of this world, spiritual wickedness (or wicked spirits) in high places.â Whenever evil in any way domineers over good, there is a âprince of Tyrus,â against whom God utters His voice. The âmystery of iniquity is ever working, and in that working we recognize the power of Satan whom God condemns and will destroy.
Ezekiel 28:2
Thou hast said, I am a god - Compare Ezekiel 29:3; Daniel 4:30; Acts 12:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:4.
I sit in the seat of God - Words denoting the speakerâs pride; but the situation of the island-city, full of beauty, in the midst of the blue water of the Mediterranean, gives force to the expression. Compare the words describing the lot of Tyre as having been in Eden Ezekiel 28:13.
Thou art a man - Rather, thou art man.
Ezekiel 28:3
Thou art wiser than Daniel - The passage is one of strong irony. Compare Ezekiel 14:14; Daniel 6:3.
Ezekiel 28:9
But thou shalt be a man - Rather, yet art thou man.
Ezekiel 28:10
The uncircumcised - The pagan idolaters as opposed to the covenant-people.
