Sidon, along with its sister city Tyre, was renowned for its maritime prowess, trade, and craftsmanship, particularly in the production of purple dye and glassware. The Sidonians are frequently mentioned in the Bible, often in the context of their interactions with the Israelites and their influence on the surrounding regions.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Historical Context</b><br><br>The Sidonians are first mentioned in the Table of Nations in <a href="/genesis/10-15.htm">Genesis 10:15</a>, where Sidon is listed as the firstborn son of Canaan: "Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn, and of the Hittites" . This establishes the Sidonians as descendants of Canaan, placing them among the Canaanite peoples who inhabited the land before the arrival of the Israelites.<br><br>Throughout the Old Testament, the Sidonians are often depicted as a people who worshiped pagan deities, most notably Baal and Ashtoreth. Their religious practices and idolatry were a source of temptation and conflict for the Israelites. In <a href="/judges/10-6.htm">Judges 10:6</a>, the Israelites are said to have turned away from the LORD and served the gods of the Sidonians, among others: "Again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines" .<br><br>The influence of Sidonian culture and religion is further highlighted during the reign of King Solomon. Solomon's marriage to Sidonian women led to the introduction of their idolatrous practices into Israel. <a href="/1_kings/11.htm">1 Kings 11:1-5</a> recounts Solomon's alliances through marriage, including with women from Sidon: "King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women... For Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians" .<br><br>The Sidonians also played a role in the account of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. Jezebel, the infamous queen married to King Ahab of Israel, was a Sidonian princess and a fervent worshiper of Baal. Her influence led to the widespread promotion of Baal worship in Israel, culminating in the dramatic confrontation on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18).<br><br><b>Economic and Cultural Influence</b><br><br>The Sidonians were known for their skills in navigation and trade, establishing colonies and trade routes across the Mediterranean. Their economic influence is noted in passages such as <a href="/bsb/isaiah/23.htm">Isaiah 23</a>, which describes the fall of Tyre and Sidon and the impact on their trade networks: "Be ashamed, O Sidon, the fortress of the sea, for the sea has spoken: 'I have not been in labor or given birth; I have not raised young men or brought up virgins'" (<a href="/isaiah/23-4.htm">Isaiah 23:4</a>).<br><br>The craftsmanship of the Sidonians is also acknowledged in the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. King Hiram of Tyre, a close ally of King Solomon, provided skilled Sidonian laborers and materials for the building of the Temple, as recorded in <a href="/1_kings/5-6.htm">1 Kings 5:6</a>: "Now therefore, command that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. My servants will join your servants, and I will pay you whatever wages you set, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians" .<br><br><b>Prophetic Pronouncements</b><br><br>The prophets of Israel often pronounced judgments against Sidon for its idolatry and pride. <a href="/ezekiel/28-22.htm">Ezekiel 28:22-23</a> contains a prophecy against Sidon, declaring God's judgment: "And you will know that I am the LORD, when I execute judgments against her and demonstrate My holiness through her. I will send a plague upon her and shed blood in her streets; the slain will fall within her, while the sword is against her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD" .<br><br>Despite these judgments, the Bible also contains promises of restoration for Sidon. In the eschatological vision of the future, Sidon is included among the nations that will experience God's mercy and redemption, as seen in passages like <a href="/bsb/isaiah/60.htm">Isaiah 60</a>: "The glory of Lebanon will come to you—the cypress, the plane, and the pine together—to adorn the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify the place of My feet" (<a href="/isaiah/60-13.htm">Isaiah 60:13</a>).<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus mentions the Sidonians in the context of His ministry. In <a href="/luke/10-13.htm">Luke 10:13-14</a>, Jesus compares the unrepentant cities of Chorazin and Bethsaida to Tyre and Sidon, suggesting that the latter would have repented if they had witnessed His miracles: "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes" .<br><br>The Sidonians, therefore, serve as a historical and theological backdrop in the biblical narrative, illustrating themes of idolatry, judgment, and the potential for repentance and redemption.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Sidonians</span><p>the Greek form of the word Zidonians, usually so exhibited in the Authorized Version of the Old Testament.
