BrLXX Καὶ σὺ υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου εἰπὸν τῷ ἄρχοντι Τύρου, τάδε λέλει Κύριος, ἀνθʼ οὗ ὑψώθη σου ἡ καρδία, καὶ εἶπας, Θεός εἰμι ἐγὼ, κατοικίαν Θεοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκας τὴν καρδίαν σου ὡς καρδίαν Θεοῦ.

28:1-19 The third panel against Tyre (see study note on 26:1–28:19) addresses and condemns its ruler, the prince of Tyre, for his pride. He personifies the city of Tyre, so his fate represents Tyre’s fate. In his arrogance, the prince of Tyre laid claim to divinity and the power that goes with it, asserting that he sat on a divine throne, ruling the chaotic, untamable seas. The reality, however, was otherwise; he was only a man.
• This chapter and Isa 14 (about the king of Babylon) have often been interpreted as referring to the heavenly conflict between God and Satan, “the prince of demons” (Matt 12:24). However, this view ignores the historical nature of both passages. Tyre and Babylon were real places and their kings were real men whose great power was matched by great pride. The king of Tyre’s claim to be a god proved hollow. The political powers that oppose God and his people may be agents of Satan in his struggle against God. The sure demise of such human rulers foreshadows God’s ultimate triumph over all the forces of darkness. Every power that sets itself up against the living God will be brought to destruction.
