Ezekiel 29:18

18 “Son of man, King Nebuchadrezzar ^{▼▼tn Heb “Nebuchadrezzar” is a variant and more exact spelling of Nebuchadnezzar, as the Babylonian name Nabu-kudurri-uṣur has an “r” rather than an “n” (so also in v. 19).} of Babylon made his army labor hard against Tyre. ^{▼▼sn Nebuchadnezzar besieged Tyre from 585 to 571 b.c.} Every head was rubbed bald and every shoulder rubbed bare; yet he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the work he carried out against it.
