One king — One royal race of Nebuchadnezzar, including his son, and his son's son, in whom his family and kingdom were to expire. Sing — She shall by degrees return to her former traffick, whereby she shall easily entice the merchants of the world to trade with her, as harlots use to entice men by lascivious songs.
