"Your hand, O Lord, has killed them; they were killed by the sword. David spoke before the Lord, saying, 'Who are the mighty ones that have taken dominion from under your hand, and you have ruled over them in your world to subjugate them to your children? And who is this Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar?' And it is only the mighty ones who die, as it is said (Deuteronomy 3:6), 'We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying every city—men, women, and children.'
'They were killed by the sword,' because you ruled over the land. And there is no "Chald" but the land, as it is said (Psalms 49:2), 'Hear this, all you peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world, both low and high, rich and poor together.' 'Your belly you fill with treasure,' for they were enriched from the hidden treasures of the Temple, as it is said (2 Kings 24:13), 'He carried away all the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king's house.'
'Their infants will be dashed in pieces,' as it is said (Jeremiah 27:7), 'All nations shall serve him and his son and his son's son.' 'And their leftovers to their children,' one orphan remained, and she became the queen of a kingdom that was not hers, as it is said (Esther 1:9), 'Also Queen Vashti gave a feast.' 'Your hand has killed them,' who were the mighty ones that ruled under your hand. 'They were killed by the sword,' because you ruled over the world.
'Their infants will be dashed in pieces,' but some remained alive, to whom you gave peace in this world, and your storehouses were filled with their treasures. 'Their infants will be dashed in pieces,' these are the Aspianus and his companions, and their leftovers were the two orphans who remained, Romulus and Remus. And you appointed for them a she-wolf who suckled them until they grew up and became great kings."
