Midrash Tehillim

For the kings assembled and passed by, when it was destroyed. As it is said, "Many nations have passed over this city" (Jeremiah 22:8), they passed over it and marveled. Therefore, it is said, "They will see and be astounded" (Psalm 48:6), and they will say, "Why did God do so?"...

Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer

The second wonder (was) about the wives of the sons of Noah. From the day when the heavens and the earth were created there never was a woman who at ninety years of age had a child, until Sarah came and bare (a son) when (she was) ninety years old. All the kings of the earth heard (thereof), and they did not believe. What did the Holy One, blessed be He, do to them? He dried up the breasts of their wives, as it is said, "And all the trees of the field shall know that I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish" (Ezek. 17:24).

Bereshit Rabbah

“Behold, the kings convened, passed together” (Psalms 48:5). “Behold the kings” – this is Judah and Joseph. “Passed [avru] together” – this one became filled with fury [evra] against that one, and that one became filled with fury against this one.8Joseph and Judah became angry with one another. “They saw it and were astonished” (Psalms 48:6) – “The men wondered to one another” (Genesis 43:33). “They were terrified; they hastened” (Psalms 48:6) – “[Joseph said to his brothers: I am Joseph; does my father still live?] And his brothers could not [answer him because they were alarmed before him]” (Genesis 45:3). “A fearful trembling seized them there” (Psalms 45:6) – these are the tribes. They said: ‘Kings are contending with one another; of what concern is it to us?9The other brothers felt it was not their place to intervene in the confrontation between Joseph and Judah. It is appropriate for a king to contend with a king.’
“Judah approached him” – “One approaches another” (Job 41:8) – this is Judah and Joseph. “Not even a breath comes between them” (Job 41:8) – these are the tribes. They said: ‘Kings are contending with one another; of what concern is it to us?’
