The Key Word — כָּל־, kol-generated
The word כֹּל (kol) means 'all' or 'the whole.' It encompasses totality, referring to every person or thing, and is often used with a following genitive to specify what is included. In this verse, it emphasizes that every king of the nations is included in this fate.
The lexicons consistently affirm that כֹּל can denote a broader sense of everything in existence or all circumstances of life, making it a powerful term for expressing completeness.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb שָׁכְב֥וּ, they have lain down, governs the entire verse, with a noun phrase and two prepositional phrases providing additional details. The structure emphasizes the action of the kings lying down in a state of honor.
The phrase כָּל־ מַלְכֵ֥י גוֹיִ֖ם serves as the subject, indicating that all kings of the nations are included, while the prepositional phrases specify the manner and place of their resting.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint uses πάντες for כָּל־, indicating a direct translation of 'all.' This choice maintains the emphasis on totality.
The Greek word ἐκοιμήθησαν for שָׁכְב֥וּ suggests a similar notion of rest, but it may carry connotations of sleep or death that are significant in the Greek context.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads כָּל־ מַלְכֵ֥י גוֹיִ֖ם כֻּלָּ֑ם שָׁכְב֥וּ בְכָב֖וֹד אִ֥ישׁ בְּבֵיתֽוֹ. The Septuagint matches 7 of the 8 words, maintaining the overall meaning but with its own word order. The Dead Sea Scrolls show agreement with the Masoretic Text, though some words are restored by editors.
כָּל־ מַלְכֵ֥י גוֹיִ֖ם כֻּלָּ֑ם שָׁכְב֥וּ בְכָב֖וֹד אִ֥ישׁ בְּבֵיתֽוֹ׃
7 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

nothing on the leather here — 8 supplied entire by an editor.
כול מלכי גואים שכבו בכבוד איש בבית׳ו
7 words of the verse are on this fragment — 1 partly restored.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.
