32
Et ils prononceront à haute voix sur toi une complainte dans leur lamentation, et feront leur complainte sur toi, [en disant] : qui [fut jamais] telle que Tyr, telle que celle qui a été détruite au cœur de la mer?
Ézéchiel 27:32
King
In Genesis 14:1, kings signify apparent goods and truths having the upper hand. In the next verse, they stand for the dominant evils and falsities against which the Lord fought as he passed He grew up on Earth.
In Genesis 14:3, we see that these evils and falsities were unclean; and in Genesis 14:4, that they burst forth later. (Arcana Coelestia 1661-1664).
In Genesis 14:14-15, this signifies that the Lord gained victory over them the evils represented earlier in the chapter. (Arcana Coelestia 1711-1715)
In Isaiah 33:17, a king signifies seeing genuine truth. (Apocalypse Explained 304[31])
In Revelation 9:11, a king signifies one who is in truth from an affection for what is good, and abstractly that truth itself -- here, in the opposite sense. (Apocalypse Revealed 440)
Arcana Coelestia # 1711
1711. Verse 15 And he divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and smote them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left of Damascus.
'He divided himself against them by night' means the shade which the apparent goods and truths were in. 'He and his servants' means the Rational Man and those things in the External Man that were obedient. 'And he smote them' means an act of reclamation. 'And he pursued them as far as Hobah, which is on the left of Damascus' means to that particular extent.
