Context — The Burden against Tyre
9The LORD of Hosts planned it, to defile all its glorious beauty, to disgrace all the renowned of the earth.
10Cultivate your land like the Nile, O Daughter of Tarshish; there is no longer a harbor.
11The LORD has stretched out His hand over the sea; He has made kingdoms tremble. He has given a command that the strongholds of Canaan be destroyed.
12He said, “You shall rejoice no more, O oppressed Virgin Daughter of Sidon. Get up and cross over to Cyprus— even there you will find no rest.” 13Look at the land of the Chaldeans — a people now of no account. The Assyrians destined it for the desert creatures; they set up their siege towers and stripped its palaces. They brought it to ruin.Cross References

Isaiah 23:11 Summary
[This verse tells us that God is all-powerful and in control, even over the strongest kingdoms and nations, as seen in Isaiah 23:11. He can make them tremble with just a stretch of His hand, and He has given a command to destroy the strongholds of Canaan. This is a reminder that God is the one who gives and takes away power, as stated in Daniel 4:25, and that we should trust in His sovereignty and goodness. Just like the Nile River nourishes the land, we can trust that God will provide for us and guide us, even in uncertain times, as mentioned in Isaiah 58:11.]

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 23:11
He stretched out his hand over the sea,.... That is, the Lord of hosts, who had purposed to destroy Tyre, stretched out his hand of power over it, called the sea, as in Isaiah 23:4 because situated
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 23:11
He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof. He - Yahweh.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 23:11
He, the Lord, expressed , stretched out his hand to strike it, the antecedent being put for the consequent, over the sea; or, against the sea, i.e. against Tyrus, the daughter of the sea, as she was now called; and consequently against all those ships and men which used to traffic with Tyrus, and were enriched by that trade, and therefore suffered in her fall. He shook the kingdoms, Heb. he made the kingdoms to tremble; either, 1. The two kingdoms of Tyre and Sidon; or rather, 2. The neighbouring and confederate kingdoms, as appears by comparing this with , who might justly quake at her fall, partly, for the dreadfulness and unexpectedness of the thing; partly, because Tyre was a bulwark, and a refuge, and a great advantage to them; and partly, because her fall made way for their ruin, as being destroyed by their common enemy. Hath given a commandment; hath contrived and purposed it, as was said, ,9; hath put this design into the heads and hearts of her enemies, and given them courage to attempt, and strength to execute, so difficult an enterprise. Against the merchant city, Heb. against Canaan; the word Canaan being taken either, 1. For a merchant, as it is used, ; or rather, 2. For the proper name of a place or people, as it is generally used; for the Tyrians and Sidonians were descended from Canaan, , and were the only considerable remainders of that cursed race whom God had devoted to destruction. And so this phrase may be here used both as all evidence and as an argument of their intended and approaching ruin.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 23:11
Isaiah 23:11 He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant [city], to destroy the strong holds thereof.Ver. 11. He stretched out his hand.] That "mighty hand" of his, wherewith he spanneth the heavens, brought the Red Sea upon the Egyptians, and still shaketh the wicked out of the earth, as by a canvas. He shook the kingdoms.] Shook and shattered them - viz., by Nebuchadnezzar; the kingdom of Tyre especially, to the terror of others. The Lord.] "That man of war." "Mighty in battle." Hath given a commandment.] Bidding his forces fall on. Against the merchant city.] Heb., Against, or concerning, Canaan; so he calleth Tyre the posterity of the old Canaanites, and a place of great merchandise. See Hosea 12:7.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 23:11
(11) He shook the kingdoms.—The picture of the great convulsion of the time includes more than Tyre and its subject states. Egypt, Ethiopia, Babylon, Syria, Israel, Judah, were all affected, shaken as to their very foundations, by the rapid progress of the restored Assyrian empire under Tiglath-pileser and his successors. Against the merchant city.—Literally, Canaan (the word “city” being an interpolation), taken here as equivalent to Phœnicia. So in Joshua 5:1, the LXX. translates “Canaanites” by “Phœnicia.”
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 23:11
11. He stretched out his hand, &c.] R.V. he hath stretched out … hath shaken. Cf. ch. Isaiah 5:25, Isaiah 14:26-27. The kingdoms are specially Phœnicia and its dependencies. the merchant city] Read Canaan and see on Isaiah 23:8. “Canaan” is the name used by the Phœnicians of themselves and their colonists, but this is the only example in the Old Test. of its restriction to Phœnicia.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 23:11
He stretched out his hand - That is, Yahweh (see Isaiah 23:9).
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 23:11
11. He stretched out his hand — The subject of the verb is Jehovah. The gesture here, quite a common representation with Isaiah, intends punishment and correction.
