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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Nahum 1:5

The mountains; the more known mountains of that country were mentioned Nahum 1:4, now the prophet doth extend his speech to all mountains, how great soever, and how fast soever their foundations are laid. Quake; tremble at his rebuke; not only are shaken by earthquakes from natural causes, disposed by God’s power and wisdom, but are shaken and tremble under the effects of his extraordinary presence, Judges 5:4; Job 9:5; Psalms 29:6; Jeremiah 10:10. At him; by his power, or at his displeasure,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

Tonight, let's turn now to the book of Nahum. Again, just three chapters long and they're even short chapters. So, we should have a relatively short Bible study tonight in Nahum.He introduces the subject of the prophecy in the first verse and that is:The burden of Nineveh ( Nahum 1:1 ).Nineveh was the capital of the Assyrian empire. For many years, the records of Assyria were so obliterated that the Bible critics used to say that those references to Assyria were only made up, and that Assyria... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Nahum 1:1-15

Nahum 1:1 . The burden of Nineveh Nahum the Elkoshite. This refers to a village of Galilee, the native place of Nahum, who in point of talent was among the first of the Hebrew prophets. Yet nothing of his work is preserved, except these grand predictions against Nineveh. After Jonah’s mission, this city became more prosperous and wicked than before. It obtained a sort of sovereignty over Babylon, became the grand seat of empire in the east, and at the time when Nebuchadnezzar in the first... read more

Nahum 1:3-6He rebuketh the sea.God’s powerHere is a description of God’s power unrivalled in its sublimity and soul-stirring force. Power belongeth unto God. It is absolute, inexhaustible, ever and everywhere operative. “He fainteth not, neither is weary.” His power is here presented in two aspects.I. As operating irresistibly in nature.1. It works in the air. “The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.”2. It works in the sea. “He rebuketh the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Nahum 1:5

Nah 1:5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. Ver. 5. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt ] Though valleys and low places are also liable to earthquakes, as Antioch often, Ferrara in Italy, A.D. 1516 and 1578, yet hill countries much more, because there are more holes and caverns: see Psalms 29:6 ; Psalms 144:4 Zechariah 14:4-5 .
