9. God will also punish Tyre.
Tyre "delivered up an entire population to Edom." So their sin is that they helped Edom to destroy the people of Judah? Or Israel?
Apparently Tyre had a "covenant of brotherhood" with Judah or Israel and they betrayed that covenant by helping Edom to destroy it.
God will break down the defenses of Tyre and it will be conquered: "I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it will consume her citadels." (Just as in the case of Gaza.)
(In Joel 3:6, Joel says that Tyre "sold the sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory." But Amos speaks of delivering up to Edom.)
