Context of Ezekiel 27:10

8The inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your rowers. Your skilled men, Tyre, were on you —they were your sailors. 9The elders of Gebal and her experts were within you, caulking your leaks. All the ships of the sea with their sailors were with you to trade for your wares. Persia, Lud and Put were in your army, our men of war. They hung the shield and helmet in you; they gave you splendor. 11Men of Arvad and Helech were all around on your walls, the Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their shields all around on your walls. They perfected your beauty. 12“‘Tarshish was your trading partner because of the abundance of all riches. With silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for your merchandise.
