Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they shall make a spoil of thy riches,.... The Chaldean army, when they entered the city, and got possession of it, would plunder it, and divide the riches of it among them:
and make a prey of thy merchandise; of the merchants' goods, laid up in their warehouses for sale, which was greatly hindered by this long siege; compare with this Revelation 18:11:
and they shall break down thy walls; the walls of their houses; mention being made before of breaking down the walls of the city, towers, and garrisons:
and destroy thy pleasant houses; or, "houses of thy desire" l; the most desirable ones in the city; the houses of their princes and chief magistrates; their summer houses; or which were most delightfully situated towards the sea, to have the prospect and advantage of that:
and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water; of the sea, near unto or about it; into which they cast the rubbish of the demolished houses, stones, timber, and dust, and so left it bare and naked: or rather this was fulfilled when Alexander, with the ruins of old Tyre, its stones, timber, and rubbish, and trees from Lebanon, made a causeway from the continent to the island; and by that means took it, after seven months' toil and labour of this sort m.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The description of the siege is that of a town invested by land.
Ezekiel 26:7
Nebuchadrezzar - Jeremiah 21:2 note.
Ezekiel 26:8
Lift up the buckler - i. e., set a wall of shields, under cover of which the walls could be approached.
Ezekiel 26:9
Engines of war - Or, his battering ram. “axes” swords. They who would break flown the towers, rush on with their swords to slay the defenders.
Ezekiel 26:11
Garrisons - pillars, on which stood statues of some protecting god. Compare 2 Kings 10:26.
Ezekiel 26:14
The siege had been on land, but the victory was to be completed by the subjection of the island-citadel.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 26:12. And they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. — This answers to the taking of Tyre by Alexander; he actually took the timbers, stones, rubbish, c. of old Tyre, and filled up the space between it and new Tyre, and thus connected the latter with the main land and this he was obliged to do before he could take it.
