Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings
The phrase "king of kings" was a title, meaning that he was the greatest of kings, the king that other kings obeyed. AT: "Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the greatest king" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
a great many people
This emphasizes the great size of Nebuchadnezzar's army.
He will kill
Here the word "He" refers to Nebuchadnezzar and is a metonym for his army. AT: "His army will kill" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
your daughters in the field
Possible meanings are 1) "your daughters" refers to the young women of Tyre who were working in the fields or 2) "your daughters" is a metonym for nearby towns and villages on the mainland that supported the main city of Tyre.
