Quick answer

The house of Togarmah supplied Tyre with horses and mules. It continues the catalog of her wide-ranging trade.

Overview

Togarmah, an Armenian region known for horses, furnished work and war animals for Tyre's markets. Each entry adds to the picture of a city drawing the resources of the whole known world. The sheer extent of this commerce underscores how thoroughly Tyre's identity rested in trade, an identity God would soon strip away.
