Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Kings of Tyrus, kings of Zidon. Under the names of the two leading cities, the prophet includes the various dependent Phoenician commonwealths. Hence the plural "kings." The isles. The Hebrew has the singular, "the isle," or rather, "the coast-laud" (more strictly, the region), i.e. perhaps either Tartessus in Spain, or Cyprus (which Esarhaddon describes as "lying in the midst of the sea," and as having two kings, 'Records of the Past,' 3:108).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) The isles which are beyond the sea.--Better, island. The Hebrew word is in the singular, and is properly, as in the margin, a "region by the sea-side"--a "coast-land," and thus wider in its extent than our "island." Here the position in which it occurs tends to identify it either with Cyprus or the coast of Cilicia, or Ph?nician colonies generally in the Mediterranean. Cyprus seems the most probable of these.
