Tyre and Sidon

  1. Jesus visited the region of Tyre and Sidon during his earthly ministry.
    The region of Tyre and Sidon is the location where the Third Missionary Journey came to an end.
  2. Sidon, means "fishing" in Arabic.
    This region was settled about 2,000 B.C.E. It was a Canaanite settlement. It was considered the Western boundary of Asher (Joshua 19:20).
  3. Hiran, the king of Tyre offered to give David cedar trees to build David's palace (2 Samual 5:11).
  4. Ethbaal was the father of Jezebel, and he was the king of Sidon (1 Kings 16:31).
  5. In 586-572, king Nebuchadnezzar tried to seize Tyre for 13 years.
    The result was uncertain. Those in Tyre may have surrendered, or they may have been defeated.
  6. The people of Tyre gave more cedar trees for the building of the Second Temple (Ezra 3:7), much like they had done for David many years before.
  7. In New Testament times, Tyre and Sidon were Roman trading ports. During Jesus' ministry, people from Tyre sought to find where Jesus was, to hear his message.
    Many people from this region came to faith in Jesus.
    Jesus commended the faith of those in Tyre and Sidon, because they came to repentance when others who were Israelites, did not.
  8. Paul met with believers living in Caesarea, on his third missionary journey, stopping at Sidon where Paul met with disciples in that city (Acts 27:3).
