Why do they not desire gold?
1.
Rashi: They want only to kill and avenge the evil that Bavel's kings did to all the nations. Radak - they will not accept redemption - "Okir Enosh mi'Paz" (12). Malbim - this discusses what they will do to the natives of Bavel. Against the foreigners, they came only for money - to plunder their houses 1 . They denied the importance of silver. No one can deny the importance of gold; even so, they abandoned it and went only to destroy.
