The siege of the inland city of Tyre was so intense and strenuous that the heads of Nebuchadnezzar’s troops were made bald by the chafing of their helmets and their shoulders were rubbed bare from carrying building materials for towers and fortifications. ​ — Ezekiel 26: 7 - 12.
Tüürose linna maismaaosa piiramine oli niivõrd pingeline ja intensiivne, et Nebukadnetsari sõjameeste pead läksid kiivrikandmisest paljaks ning nende õlad hõõrdusid ära, kui nad tassisid ehitusmaterjale tornide ja kaitsevallide jaoks.
