A City Defined by the Sea
Commentators explain that the lament in this verse emphasizes Tyre's unique identity. It was renowned because it was 'inhabited from the seas,' a city that seemed to rise directly from the water, deriving its strength, wealth, and fame from its mastery of the sea. Its destruction was so shocking because it struck at the very source of its pride and power.
