Zidon, Or Sidon
(Genesis 10:15,19; Joshua 11:8; 19:28; Judges 1:31; 18:28; Isaiah 23:2,4,12; Jeremiah 25:22;

Luke 6:17; 10:13,14 An ancient and wealthy city of Phoenicia, on the eastern coast of the
Mediterranean Sea, less than twenty English miles to the north of Tyre. Its Hebrew name, Tsidon,
signifies fishing or fishery. Its modern name is Saida. It is situated in the narrow plain between
the Lebanon and the sea. From a biblical point of view this city is inferior in interest to its neighbor
Tyre; though in early times Sidon was the more influential of the two cities. This view is confirmed
by Zidonians being used as the generic name of Phoenicians or Canaanites. (Joshua 13:6; Judges
18:7) From the time of Solomon to the invasion of Nebuchadnezzar Zidon is not often directly
mentioned in the Bible, and it appears to have been subordinate to Tyre. When the people called
“Zidonians” are mentioned, it sometimes seems that the Phoenicians of the plain of Zidon are
meant. (1 Kings 5:6; 11:1,5,33; 16:31; 2 Kings 23:13) All that is known are respecting the city is
very scanty, amounting to scarcely more than that one of its sources of gain was trade in slaves, in
which the inhabitants did not shrink from selling inhabitants of Palestine and that it was governed
by kings. (Jeremiah 25:22; 27:3) During the Persian domination Zidon seems to have attained its
highest point of prosperity; and it is recorded that, toward the close of that period, it far excelled
all other Phoenician cities in wealth and importance. Its prosperity was suddenly cut short by an
unsuccessful revolt against Persia, which ended in the destruction of the town, B.C. 351. Its king,
