Also her daughters who are on the mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I am the LORD.'"I wonder, who are the daughters spoken of here? Are they actually the young women of Tyre, living on the mainland for some reason? Or is it a metaphor, for the people who are subject to/former inhabitants of Tyre?
Whichever it is, they are to be killed as examples. First, an example of Tyre's doom, their coming defeat as they are isolated from support. Second, an example of what happens to those who oppose God and His people, and seek to take advantage of God's punishment.
