2.

Radak: The singular applies to the Klal, like "va'Yhi Li Shor va'Chamor" (Bereishis 32:6), "Ki Im ha'Sus Asur veha'Chamor Asur (Melachim II, 7:10), "Ko Someru l'Ish Yavesh Gil'ad" (Shmuel I, 11:9) and similar verses. Mil'uch refers to Tzor; you were filled with merchandise.

Malbim: Tzidon was near Tzor; it was not esteemed at all during the serenity of Tzor. All Tzor fell, all the business was moved to Tzidon, and it became very rich, until Nebuchadnetzar conquered it.
