שיר מזמור לבני תובל־קין

Today I got the alíya that contains my favorite minor Biblical figure — Tuval-Qayin, inventor of metallurgy and metal tools. That was pretty cool. And they didn't even know before they gave it to me!

I always liked the Hertz Chumash comment that essentially what Tuval-Kayin invented was *weapons* of metal. And that's why, in the next few verses, Lamech sings a triumphant song about how easily he was now able to commit murder. A very logical and clever interpretation. Does anyone know whether this is Hertz's original idea, or based on any meforshim?
