Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Amos 1:10

Verse Amos 1:10. I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus] The destructive fire or siege by Nebuchadnezzar, which lasted thirteen years, and ended in the destruction of this ancient city; see on Ezekiel, Ezekiel 26:7, as above. It was finally ruined by Alexander, and is now only a place for a few poor fishermen to spread their nets upon.
