he - God.

rejoice - riotously (Isa 23:7).

oppressed - “deflowered”; laying aside the figure “taken by storm”; the Arabs compare a city never taken to an undefiled virgin (compare Nah 3:5, etc.).

daughter of Zidon - Tyre: or else, sons of Zidon, that is, the whole land and people of Phoenicia (see on Isa 23:2) [Maurer].

Chittim - Citium in Cyprus (Isa 23:1).

there also ... no rest - Thy colonies, having been harshly treated by thee, will now repay thee in kind (see on Isa 23:10). But Vitringa refers it to the calamities which befell the Tyrians in their settlements subsequently, namely, Sicily, Corcyra, Carthage, and Spain, all flowing from the original curse of Noah against the posterity of Canaan (Gen 9:25-27).
