What happened at Tyre in the Bible?

Paul stayed a week with the disciples here on his last trip toward Jerusalem, and they begged him not to go: they "said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem" (Acts 21:4). When he went anyway, the whole church, "with wives and children," walked him to the beach, "and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed" (21:5).
