Rashi, on Neh 9:37

“And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.”

“And its produce [the produce] of the land of Israel. it lavishes delicacies to the kings of the nations... whom You have appointed over us who rule over us.”
