The Phoenicians and Asher
Isaiah 23:1-18
Esaias 23:1 THE WORD CONCERNING TYRE. Howl, ye ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and men no longer arrive from the land of the Citians: she is led captive. 2 To whom are the dwellers in the island become like, the merchants of Phoenice, passing over the sea[3] in great waters, a generation of merchants? as when the harvest is gathered in, so are these traders with the nations.[4] Be ashamed, O Sidon: the sea has said, yea, the strength of the sea has said, I have not travailed, nor brought forth, nor have I brought up young men, nor reared virgins.[5] Moreover when it shall be heard in Egypt, sorrow shall seize them for Tyre.[6] Depart ye to Carthage; howl, ye that dwell in this island.[7] Was not this your pride from the beginning, before she was given up?[8] Who has devised this counsel against Tyre? Is she inferior? or has she no strength? her merchants were the glorious princes of the earth.[9] The Lord of hosts has purposed to bring down all the pride of the glorious ones, and to disgrace every glorious thing on the earth.[10] Till thy land, for ships no more come out of Carthage.[11] And thy hand prevails no more by sea, which troubled kings: the Lord of hosts has given a command concerning Chanaan, to destroy the strength thereof.[12] And men shall say, Ye shall no longer at all continue to insult and injure the daughter of Sidon: and if thou depart to the Citians, neither there shalt thou have rest.[13] And if thou depart to the land of the Chaldeans, this also is laid waste by the Assyrians, for her wall is fallen. [14] Howl, ye ships of Carthage: for your strong hold is destroyed.[15] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be left seventy years, as the time of a king, as the time of a man: and it shall come to pass after seventy years, that Tyre shall be as the song of a harlot.[16] Take a harp, go about, O city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten: play well on the harp, sing many songs that thou mayest be remembered.[17] And it shall come to pass after the seventy years, that God will visit Tyre and she shall be again restored to her primitive state, and she shall be a mart for all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.[18] And her trade and her gain shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be gathered for them, but for those that dwell before the Lord, even all her trade, to eat and drink and be filled, and for a Covenant and a Memorial before the Lord.LXX
The Greek word translated as harlot is defined as adultery and idolotry by Strong's... which cannot apply to those nations never married to God. So, when was Tyre married to God? From the time of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...
The identity of Tyre
Asher's lot includes Tyre.
Joshua 19:24-31 And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.[25] And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,[26] And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;[27] And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,[28] And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, unto great Zidon;[29] And the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:[30] Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.[31] This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.KJV
Did Tyre and the Phoenicians came from the tribe of Asher?
The Assyrian Captivity ca. 722 B.C.
Eratosthenes says the fall of Troy was 1184 B.C.
The Phoenician Thalassocracy date(s)...?

Lost Sheep in Tyre and Sidon
Matthew 11:21-22 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.KJV
Matthew 15:21-28 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.[22] And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David: my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.[23] But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us.[24] But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the Lost Sheep of the house of Israel.[25] Then came she and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, help me.[26] But He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs.[27] And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.[28] Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.KJV
Zachariah 11:7-12 And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Chanaan. And I will take for Myself two rods: the one I called Beauty and the other I called Line, and I will tend the flock.[8] And I will cut off three shepherds in one month: and My soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against Me.[9] And I said, I will not tend you: that which dies let it die, and that which falls off let it fall off, and let the rest eat every one the flesh of his neighbour. (Revelation 22:11)
[10] And I will take My beautiful staff and cast it away, that I may break My Covenant which I made with all these people,[11] and it shall be broken in that day. And the Chananites, the sheep that are kept for Me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.
[12] And I will say to them, If it be good in your eyes, give Me My price, or refuse it. And they weighed for My price thirty pieces of silver.LXX (Matthew 26:14-15)
====================
Canaanites means the low-land-people and/or sea-port merchants. It doesn't mean the cursed-by-Noah man/people, in the verses above.
Because the name changes, depending upon who's doing the talking.
Amorites meant the highland-people.
Like the tall red-heads of Scotland are called highlanders... and Picts, and Caledonians?
"One of the chief tribes of the Picts, located in the central Highlands, is called the Dicalydones, which reminds one of the "Duecaledonian Ocean", Ptolemy's name for the sea beyond Scotland."--A.R. Burn, Agricola and Roman Britain
