A 70-Year Judgment
Commentators widely agree that Tyre's 70-year period of being 'forgotten' aligns with the 70-year duration of the Babylonian empire. The phrase 'days of one king' is understood not as a single monarch's reign, but as the rule of a single dynasty—that of Nebuchadnezzar and his successors. This specific timeframe demonstrates God's sovereign control over the rise and fall of nations.
