Clarke's Ezekiel 27:28 Bible Commentary
The cry of thy pilots - When the ship was dashed against the rocks by the violence of the winds and the waves, and all hope of life was taken away, then a universal cry was set up by all on board. I have heard this cry, and nothing more dismal can be imagined, when the ship by a violent tempest is driving among rocks on a lee shore. Then "All lost! cut away the boat!" is more dreadful than the cry of fire at midnight.
Barnes's Ezekiel 27:28 Bible Commentary
The suburbs - Or, "precincts." Tyre rose from the midst of the sea; her "precincts" were the surrounding waters and the adjoining coasts.
Wesley's Ezekiel 27:28 Bible Commentary
27:28 The suburbs - The suburbs, which are nearest the sea, shall first hear the out - cries of pilots, and mariners.
