Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 3:1-7

Nahum 3. A fresh Picture of the End of Nineveh. Nahum 3:1-Judges : . Woe to that city of blood, full of lies and rapine, where the prey never ceased, nor was any end to the booty! Now nothing is heard in her but the crack of the whip and the rumbling of wheels, the gallop of steeds and the dashing of chariots, with cavalry at the charge, while the sabres flash and the spears glitter, and underneath men stumble over corpses unnumbered. And all this is the fitting punishment of that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nahum 3:7

It shall come to pass; it will most certainly be. All they that look upon thee, so soon as ever thou art seen and discovered, O Nineveh, in thy vileness, shall flee from thee, with hatred, loathing, and abhorrence for thy former pride and wickedness. and for thy present miseries. And say, with wonder, scorn, rejoicing, and spreading the news, Nineveh is laid waste; taken, sacked, emptied of inhabitant, yea, utterly subverted, that it may be no more a rival with Babylon: it is certain that it is... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Nahum 3:1-19

Chapter 3Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not; The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots. [Suppose that would have been helicopters.] The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: Because of the multitude... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 3:1-19

Nahum 3:1 . Woe to the bloody city. Nineveh was drunk with blood. She was burdened with the wealth of plundered nations; her feasts and idolatries filled up the measure of her iniquity.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Nahum 3:1-19

NINEVEH’S VICES AND INEVITABLE DOOM, 1-19. A woe is pronounced upon the bloody city (Nahum 3:1). Her doom is inevitable and imminent (Nahum 3:2-3), but it is well deserved and no one will bemoan her (Nahum 3:4-7). Natural strength and resources will avail no more in her case than in the case of the Egyptian No Amon (Nahum 3:8-11). In spite of her resources she will come to a terrible end, and the whole earth will rejoice because her power is departed from her (Nahum 3:12-19). Nahum 3:1 Nahum... read more
