Expositor's Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:1-13

THE SIEGE AND FALL OF NINEVEHNahum 2:1-13; Nahum 3:1-19THE scene now changes from the presence and awful arsenal of the Almighty to the historical consummation of His vengeance. Nahum foresees the siege of Nineveh. Probably the Medes have already overrun Assyria. The "Old Lion" has withdrawn to his inner den, and is making his last stand. The suburbs are full of the enemy, and the great walls which made the inner city one vast fortress are invested. Nahum describes the details of the assault.... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Nahum 2:1-13

CHAPTER 2 The Overthrow, Plundering and Destruction Of Nineveh 1. The capture of Nineveh announced and described (Nahum 2:1-10 ) 2. The completeness of the judgment (Nahum 2:11-13 ) Nahum 2:1-10 . This great prophecy was literally fulfilled some ninety years after Nahum had spoken. When these words were spoken Nineveh was in the zenith of her glory. Who told Nahum the Elkoshite that the proud world city would undergo such a sack and be completely wiped out? Who moved his pen to give such a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:1-13

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 2:3-13

After the observations I ventured to make on the preceding verses, I do not think it needful to dissect the several parts of the subject contained in this whole paragraph. If I mistake not, the Lord is describing, under a great variety of figures, the character of Israel's foes; their shields, their chariots, their swords, are commissioned in all they do by the Lord. But when they shall have executed, and finished their appointed service, like the rod which a kind but wise father takes to... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 2:1-10

1-10 Nineveh shall not put aside this judgment; there is no counsel or strength against the Lord. God looks upon proud cities, and brings them down. Particular account is given of the terrors wherein the invading enemy shall appear against Nineveh. The empire of Assyria is represented as a queen, about to be led captive to Babylon. Guilt in the conscience fills men with terror in an evil day; and what will treasures or glory do for us in times of distress, or in the day of wrath? Yet for such... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nahum 2:1-13

a Cruel City to be Overthrown Nahum 2:1-13 This is a prophetic foreview of the overthrow of Nineveh by the Medo-Babylonians. God had used her for the chastisement of His people; now, in turn, she must be cast away for her sins. The attacking soldiers wore crimson tunics, and the chariot wheels were armed with scythes, that flashed as they revolved. The streets might be filled with chariots mustering for defence, but all must be in vain since the scaling-ladders were already against the... read more
