Zechariah 9:4

Will smite her power in the sea— The Sidonians, (according to Diodorus Siculus,) on the approach of the army sent against them by Ochus king of Persia, first of all destroyed their shipping at sea; and then, retiring within the walls of their city, when they found they could hold out no longer, they set fire to their houses, and burnt themselves, with all their families and effects together. Thus their wealth was effectually smitten, when, by burning their ships, their commerce, the source of their riches, was annihilated; and their last act of desperation completely fulfilled the remaining part of the prophesy. No wonder if their neighbours the Philistines were struck with consternation at seeing the disastrous fate of those on whose assistance they depended.
