== Tyre ==
It is only well after the deportations of the Israelites that translators of the Scriptures for the Septuagint had in diverse places associated Phoenicians with “Canaanites”, yet the Israelites were long removed from the land. The inhabitants of the island city of Tyre, however, '''never were deported by the Assyrians or the Babylonians''', although the mainland portion of Tyre was destroyed by [[Nebuchadnezzar]] (Ezek. 26). After the beginning of the [[Persian period]], the Tyrians were subject to [[Persia (Elam)|Persia]] and had spread themselves back to the mainland. The island city was destroyed for good by [[Alexander the Great]] circa 330 B.C. Yet it is evident that many of the Israelites did remain in the area and maintained their identity for quite some time, as we have [[Anna the Prophetess|Anna the prophetess]], of the Tribe of Asher, in [[Jerusalem]] during the birth of Christ (Luke 2:36).
