And his daughters on the mainland shall be slain by the sword, and then they shall know that I am the Lord. The mention of Tyre's satellite cities ('daughters') being destroyed emphasizes that judgment will extend beyond the principal city to encompass its entire political and economic system. Once again, the recognition formula concludes the passage, indicating that knowledge of God emerges through the destruction of those who oppose Him and his purposes.
