Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:11

There is one come out of thee - that is, Nineveh, “that imagineth” deviseth, , “evil, Lord, Sennacherib, against the the rod of God’s anger” Isaiah 10:5-7, yet who “meant not so,” as God meant. “And this was his counsel,” as is every counsel of Satan, “that they could not resist him, and so should withdraw themselves from the land of God, “into a land like their own” Isaiah 36:16-17, but whose joy and sweetness, its vines and its fig-trees, should not be from God, but from the Assyrian, i. e.,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:12

Though they be quiet and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down - Literally, “If they be entire,” i. e., sound unharmed, unimpaired in their numbers, unbroken in their strength, undiminished, perfect in all which belongs to war; “and thus many even thus shall they be mown down (or shorn), and he passeth away” . With might outwardly unscathed, “without hand” Daniel 2:34, and “thus many,” i. e., many, accordingly, as being unweakened; as many as they shall be, “so shall they be mown down,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:13

For now will I break his yoke from off thee - God, lest His own should despair, does not put them off altogether to a distant day, but saith, now. Historically, the beginning of the fall is the earnest of the end. By the destruction of Sennacherib, God declared His displeasure against Assyria; the rest was matter of time only. Thus, Haman’s wise men say to him, “If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 1:11-13

Nahum 1:11-13. There is one come out of thee Or, one hath gone forth of thee. This is probably meant of Sennacherib, who uttered so many reproaches and blasphemies against the true God, one of whose royal seats was Nineveh, and who probably went forth from thence to invade Judea. But the term, a wicked counsellor, seems to be intended of Rabshakeh, whom Sennacherib sent against Jerusalem, while he himself warred against Lachish, and who uttered those blasphemous speeches against God, of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

1:1-15 THE POWER OF GODGod is the great judge, the all-powerful ruler of the universe. On the one hand he is patient with the rebellious, but on the other he is zealous for righteousness. His punishment of the guilty is severe, but it is also just (1:1-3a). Through storms, winds, droughts and earthquakes he sends judgments that bring total destruction. When his wrath is poured out on sinners, no one can escape (3b-6).Being so mighty, God can protect those who trust in him, and destroy those who... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 1:11

"There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness."Some would apply this to Sennacherib, whom it fits well enough; but it is better to understand this as a personification of the whole spirit of Nineveh:"Nineveh is addressed; and we need not refer the words entirely to Sennacherib and his impious threats, but may take them generally as expressing the arrogant impiety of the Assyrians and their attitude toward Jehovah."[17]"That counselleth... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Nahum 1:12

"Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.""They" and "he" are used here to include the population of the city as well as the personification of the Devil that guides them, in this case, their arrogant and confident king. Note that the fall of Nineveh was not to be at the end of their strength, but in the midst of it. How often has the judgment of God... read more
