Ver. 11. He stretched out his hand.] That "mighty hand" of his, {1Pe_5:6} wherewith he spanneth the heavens, {Isa_48:13} brought the Red Sea upon the Egyptians, {Exo_14:26} and still shaketh the wicked out of the earth, as by a canvas. {Job_38:13}
He shook the kingdoms.] Shook and shattered them - viz., by Nebuchadnezzar; the kingdom of Tyre especially, to the terror of others. {Eze_26:15}
The Lord.] "That man of war." {Exo_15:3} "Mighty in battle." {Psa_24:8}
Hath given a commandment.] Bidding his forces fall on.
Against the merchant city.] Heb., Against, or concerning, Canaan; so he calleth Tyre the posterity of the old Canaanites, and a place of great merchandise. See Hos_12:7.
