>"I CUT THEIR THROATS LIKE LAMBS. I CUT OFF THEIR PRECIOUS LIVES AS ONE CUTS A STRING. LIKE THE MANY WATERS OF THE STORM, I MADE THE CONTENTS OF THEIR GULLETS AND ENTRAILS RUN DOWN UPON THE WIDE EARTH. MY PRANCING STEEDS HARNESSED FROM THE RIDING, PLUNGED INTO THE STREAMS OF THEIR BLOOD AS INTO A RIVER. THE WHEELS OF MY WAR CHARIOT, WHICH BRINGS LOW THE WICKED AND EVIL, WERE BESPATTERED WITH BLOOD AND FILTH. WITH THE BODIES OF THEIR WARRIORS I FILLED THE PLAIN, LIKE GRASS. THEIR TESTICLES I CUT OFF AND TORE OUT THEIR PRIVATES LIKE THE SEEDS OF CUCUMBERS."
>"THEIR BLOOD, LIKE A BROKEN DAM, I CAUSED TO FLOW DOWN THE MOUNTAIN GULLIES. I HUNG THE HEADS OF SANDUARRI [king of the cities of Kundi and Sizu] AND ABDI-MILKUTTI [king of Sidon] ON THE SHOULDERS OF THEIR NOBLES AND WITH SINGING AND MUSIC I PARADED THROUGH THE PUBLIC SQUARE OF NINEVEH."
