So they said to the king, “The man who consumed us and planned to exterminate us from remaining in any territory of Israel,

“I pursued my enemies and destroyed them,
And I did not turn back until they were consumed (eliminated).

“I consumed them and shattered them, so that they did not rise;
They fell under my feet.

“But the man who touches them
Must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear,
And they are utterly burned and consumed by fire in their place.”
