Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:2-14

II. NINEVEH’S DESTRUCTION DECLARED 1:2-14The rest of chapter 1 declares Nineveh’s destruction in rather hymnic style, and chapters 2 and 3 describe its destruction. Each of these major parts of the book opens with a revelation of Yahweh. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:7

In contrast, Yahweh is also good, not just angry and vengeful (cf. Romans 11:22). He Himself is a more secure hiding place than any mountain, hill, or great city, like Nineveh, when people face trouble (cf. Psalms 27:1; Psalms 37:39; Psalms 43:2; Psalms 52:7). Furthermore He knows those who take refuge in Him by drawing near to Him and resting their confidence in Him. He takes note of those who trust in Him as well as those who incur His wrath. Whereas the previous revelations of God reflect... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

THE VENGEANCE OF THE LORDNahum 1:1-15THE prophet Nahum, as we have seen, arose probably in Judah, if not about the same time as Zephaniah and Jeremiah, then a few years later. Whether he prophesied before or after the great Reform of 621 we have no means of deciding. His book does not reflect the inner history, character, or merits of his generation. His sole interest is the fate of Nineveh. Zephaniah had also doomed the Assyrian capital, yet he was much more concerned with Israel’s... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

NAHUM CONSOLATION FOR ISRAEL Isaiah concludes his work at about the end of Hezekiah’s reign, which synchronizes with the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel by the Assyrians. At this period of perplexity, when the overthrow of Samaria (the capital of Israel) must have suggested to Judah fears for her own safety, when Jerusalem (the capital of Judah) had been drained of its treasure by Hezekiah in the vain hope of turning the fury of the Assyrians from her, and when rumors of the conquest of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nahum 1:1-15

The Burden of Nineveh Nahum 1:0 There is a sense in which every prophet must make a burden of his work. If he himself had to do it all it would be nothing but burden. Instead of idealising the word, making it poetical, bringing up before the eye of the mind some stalwart pilgrim carrying his easy load upon his shoulder, think of it as a man whose heart is sore because of the wickedness of the people, whose sleep is taken away from him because night is turned into a day of wickedness and wrath.... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 1:2-8

The Prophet opens his sermon with the most striking text, such as the Lord himself opened his sermon with, when he preached before Moses. See Exodus 34:1-7 . It were to weaken the words of this solemn and gracious passage, to offer any comment upon them. The Lord's sovereignty, and the Lord's grace are awfully set forth. I only beg the Reader to remark how beautifully blended the one is with the other. A child of God that reads this passage, can do as David did, sing of mercy and of judgment,... read more
