Expositor's Bible Commentary - Nahum 3:1-19

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 The "Old Lion" has withdrawn to his inner den, and is making his last stand.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

CHAPTER 3 Nineveh’s Guilt and Well-Deserved Judgment 1. The great wickedness of Nineveh (Nahum 3:1-7 ) 2. Her fate to be like the fate of No-Amon (Nahum 3:8-13 ) 3. Her well-deserved and complete judgment (Nahum 3:14-19 ) Nahum 3:1-7 . Nineveh was a bloody city, for her kings never knew peace, but were constantly at war. The Hebrew Ir-Damim means “city of blood drops.” They boasted of making the blood of their enemies run like rivers. It was a city full of lies and rapine. Her word could... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nahum 3:1-19

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Nahum 3:1-19

The Uses of History Nahum 3:0 "Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery" ( Nah 3:1 ). The city was Nineveh. The city is every city under the sun. There is something in the very word "city" suggestive of this kind of prosperity. It would seem as if city-building were a practical blasphemy. We cannot account for this, but the light of history seems to direct our attention in this unhappy direction. Nineveh had repented under the preaching of Jonah; Nineveh had forgotten her... read more

CONTENTS We have the continuation of the same subject, as in the two preceding chapters. Under the character of Nineveh, the Lord is declaring the final destruction of the Church's enemies. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 3:1-5

The last verse in this passage serves to throw a light upon the whole; and proves that it is the cause of the Church which the Lord is contending for. And if the Reader attends to the whole prophecy of Nahum under this view, I humbly conceive he will find it a blessed portion of the word of God. I do not wish to be considered singular, but I venture to believe, that all we meet with in scripture concerning the nations of the earth, is introduced purely on account of Zion. The care of the Church... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Nahum 3:1

Blood. Nemrod established his power by shedding blood, Genesis x. Ninus, who built Ninive, and his successors were also bloody. After 1200 years the empire decayed under Sardanapalus, as historians agree. Yet it continued longer, according to the Scriptures and Ribera, till the Chaldeans destroyed it, when it had subsisted about 1440 years. It was even possessed of great power after the return of the Jews from Babylon, as Eusebius, St. Augustine, Ven. Bede, &c., write. (Worthington) --- ... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 3:1-7

1-7 When proud sinners are brought down, others should learn not to lift themselves up. The fall of this great city should be a lesson to private persons, who increase wealth by fraud and oppression. They are preparing enemies for themselves; and if the Lord sees good to punish them in this world, they will have none to pity them. Every man who seeks his own prosperity, safety, and peace, should not only act in an upright, honourable manner, but with kindness to all. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Nahum 3:1-19

The Miserable Ruin of Nineveh. Jehovah now shows that the cause of Nineveh's destruction is its wickedness, and that for this reason the city is bound to submit to the sentence which has been pronounced upon her. v. 1. Woe to the bloody city, or, "O city of blood, of blood-guiltiness!". It is all full of lies and robbery, so that deceit, violence, and extortion were the order of the day; the prey departeth not, robbery goes on without ceasing; v. 2. the noise of a whip, its sharp crack... read more
