那鴻書 1:11-13 RCUVTS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:11

Since the Lord will destroy any plot against Him and His people (Nahum 1:9), the Assyrians were in trouble. One of the Assyrians had gone forth who plotted evil against Him. This is probably a reference to Sennacherib. He was wicked and worthless because He had opposed Yahweh (cf. 2 Kings 18). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:12

Yahweh declared that even though the Assyrians were powerful and numerous, He would cut them off and they would pass off the stage of history. This must have been hard for many Israelites to believe since the Assyrians had been their dreaded enemy for centuries. Even though the Lord had afflicted the Israelites, He would afflict them no longer. Evidently He meant that He would not afflict them with the Assyrians any longer since other nations did afflict them after Assyria passed off the scene.... read more

2. The liberation of Judah 1:12-13Emphasis now shifts from Assyria to Judah."In the form of an oracle (Nahum 1:12, This is what the Lord says) to two parties in a legal dispute, God pronounces his verdicts alternately to Judah, for her acquittal and hope (Nahum 1:12-13; Nahum 1:15; Nahum 2:2), and to Assyria, for her destruction (Nahum 1:14; Nahum 2:1)."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Nahum 1:13

The Lord promised to break Assyria’s oppression of the Israelites as when someone removed a yoke from the neck of an ox or the chains that bound a prisoner. For years the Israelites had to endure Assyrian oppression including invasion, occupation, and taxation (cf. 2 Kings 19:20-37; 2 Chronicles 32:1-23; Isaiah 37:27-38). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Nahum 1:11

(11) Come out of thee.—Another possible rendering is, He has retired from thee [i.e., Jerusalem], who imagineth . . . We prefer the rendering of the Authorised Version, and regard the verse as addressed to Nineveh. The reference in the verses following is sufficiently plain for us to identify this enemy of God with Sennacherib. (Comp. the language used by his envoy Rabsbakeh in 2 Kings 18:19) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Nahum 1:12

(12) Thus saith the Lord.—Better, Thus saith Jehovah, Though they be of unimpaired strength and ever so numerous, yet just in that state shall they be cut down, and he [viz., the evil counsellor of Nahum 1:11] shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee [Jerusalem], I will afflict thee no more. Destruction comes upon the Assyrian army in the very hour of prosperity, while unscathed and complete in numbers (2 Kings 19:32-33). Pass away: so in Psalms 48:0 (a composition generally thought to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Nahum 1:1-15

THE VENGEANCE OF THE LORDNahum 1:1-15THE prophet Nahum, as we have seen, arose probably in Judah, if not about the same time as Zephaniah and Jeremiah, then a few years later. Whether he prophesied before or after the great Reform of 621 we have no means of deciding. His book does not reflect the inner history, character, or merits of his generation. His sole interest is the fate of Nineveh. Zephaniah had also doomed the Assyrian capital, yet he was much more concerned with Israel’s... read more
