Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 1:1-8

1-8 About a hundred years before, at Jonah's preaching, the Ninevites repented, and were spared, yet, soon after, they became worse than ever. Nineveh knows not that God who contends with her, but is told what a God he is. It is good for all to mix faith with what is here said concerning Him, which speaks great terror to the wicked, and comfort to believers. Let each take his portion from it: let sinners read it and tremble; and let saints read it and triumph. The anger of the Lord is... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

God’s Goodness and Righteous Anger Nahum 1:1-15 The native city of Nahum was Elkosh, near the Lake of Galilee. The name Capernaum means literally “the village of Nahum.” He lived about 150 years after Jonah, who also had been especially concerned with the sins and doom of Nineveh. Though as a Jew he must have dreaded Nineveh, which had already carried Samaria into captivity and was now menacing Jerusalem, he accounted its fate a grievous burden-“the burden of Nineveh.” We must never speak of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Nahum 1:1-15

The prophet preceded the announcement of a verdict of vengeance by a section dealing wholly with Jehovah Himself. As to His character, He is a God of vengeance, and yet the central fact of His nature is that He is slow to anger. Under the figure of a storm the prophet set forth the overwhelming majesty of Jehovah. The description of the storm moves in two sections: a hurricane on the sea, a simoon over the land. He finally described the method of God: toward His friends He is "good, a... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 1:2-8

The Might and Character of God (Nahum 1:2-8 ). The prophecy begins with an awesome and magnificent picture of the might and character of God. Nahum 1:2 ‘YHWH is a jealous God and avenges. YHWH avenges and is full of wrath. YHWH takes vengeance on his adversaries and reserves wrath for his enemies.’ Before John the Apostle in 1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love, he first reminds us of the fact that God is light, and that in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). By this he was... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 1:2-10

Nahum 1:2-2 Samuel : . The Avenging Wrath of Yahweh.— Yahweh is a jealous and vengeful God— sensitive to the honour of Himself and His people— who marcheth through whirlwind and storm to save them from the enemy. Before His presence sea and rivers dry up, Bashan, Carmel, and Lebanon wither, the mountains quake and the earth itself is upheaved. How then can mortal man face the glow of His anger? To such as trust in Him He is a stronghold in the day of trouble; but His adversaries He thrusteth... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good; though so terrible to his enemies, to obstinate sinners, yet he is as gentle, kind, and good to his people, to Israel; so the Chaldee paraphrast. Is good; in his just severity he continueth to be good. None of that consuming anger comes from any want of goodness in God; yea, it is as much an effect of his goodness, as just punishments on incorrigible malefactors are the effects of goodness in a judge or magistrate. But here the prophet intends rather the kindness and grace of... read more

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.WHEN God interposed in a cloud between the camp of Israel and the camp of the Egyptians, the cloud was to those a pillar of fire, to give them light; but to these a cloud of darkness, to obstruct their way. And such is the varied aspect of Jehovah to his friends and enemies in all ages. Towards the Ninevites, who had now nearly filled up the... read more
