I find it interesting that YHWH would use a pagan like Alexander as the instrument of Tyre's destruction(*).
(*) For some definitions of "destruction". More like half-destruction. (c.f. "Captured")
Furthermore, It must have been quite the shock to Antigonus (when he lay siege to Tyre in 315 BCE) that Alexander had utterly destroyed it 17 years earlier in 332 BCE, never to be rebuilt or found again.
Go figure.
