And this is how kings always behave when they conquer the people of a city, to plant the seeds of fear and awe in the hearts of the masses.”
She said, “When kings enter a town, they ravage it and humiliate its notables; this is what they really do.
She said: "Verily kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it and make the most honourable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do.

She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thus they (always) do;
