Nahum 3:10

No-amon had become an exile and had gone into captivity to Assyria (cf. Nahum 2:7). [Note: See Armerding, pp. 484-85, for a short history of the fall of Thebes.] Instead of taking infants into captivity, however, the Assyrians simply slaughtered them where they found them, even at street corners (cf. Hosea 13:16). The honorable men of Thebes suffered the humiliation of being auctioned off as slaves and dragged away to Assyria in chains.
