James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:1-13

NAHUM CONSOLATION FOR ISRAEL Isaiah concludes his work at about the end of Hezekiah’s reign, which synchronizes with the captivity of the ten tribes of Israel by the Assyrians. At this period of perplexity, when the overthrow of Samaria (the capital of Israel) must have suggested to Judah fears for her own safety, when Jerusalem (the capital of Judah) had been drained of its treasure by Hezekiah in the vain hope of turning the fury of the Assyrians from her, and when rumors of the conquest of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 2:1

CONTENTS We have in this Chapter a very awful account of the Lord's judgments. The excellency of Jacob and Israel is said to be turned away; and the Chapter is one continued account of solemn dispensations. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 2:1-2

Most commentators have agreed, that as the burden of Nahum's prophecy is concerning Nineveh, they confine the observations the Prophet hath made to the destruction of that great city. But, I confess, with me the subject appears to have a much higher and more spiritual meaning. And what is said in the last of those two verses concerning Jacob and Israel, confirm me in my opinion. For if the Lord hath turned away Jacob's excellency, and if the emptiers have emptied them out, surely then Nineveh,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Nahum 2:3-13

After the observations I ventured to make on the preceding verses, I do not think it needful to dissect the several parts of the subject contained in this whole paragraph. If I mistake not, the Lord is describing, under a great variety of figures, the character of Israel's foes; their shields, their chariots, their swords, are commissioned in all they do by the Lord. But when they shall have executed, and finished their appointed service, like the rod which a kind but wise father takes to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:1

Face, O Juda. Septuagint, "who blows on thy face, (Genesis ii. 7.) freeing from misery." Here St. Jerome's Greek copy ends the chapter. (Haydock) --- Watch. Behold Nabopolassar is about to attack thy enemies. Some think that Nahum addresses Ninive ironically. (Calmet) --- Nabuchodonosor wasted all the environs, and then took the city (Worthington) after his other conquests. (Calmet) --- But his father is here denoted. (Haydock) read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:2

Pride, &c. He hath punished Jacob for his pride; and therefore Ninive must not expect to escape. Or else, rendering the pride of Jacob means rewarding, that is, punishing Ninive for the pride they exercised against Jacob. (Challoner) --- After the Assyrians had seized the ten tribes, they became more insolent, and are therefore punished. (Worthington) --- The haughty Phul, &c., had invaded the Israelites, and had taken them into captivity. This God will now resent, (Calmet) though he... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Nahum 2:3

Mighty men. He speaks of the Chaldeans and Medes sent to destroy the Ninivites. (Challoner) --- This is the common opinion. Yet it seems rather that the Ninivites are designated, as they were asleep and stumbled, &c. (Calmet) --- Stupified. That is, they drive on furiously, like men intoxicated with wine. (Challoner) --- Hebrew, "the fir-tree shall be shaken," or poisoned. Psalm cxix. 4. Septuagint read better, (Calmet) "their horsemen shall be in a hurry, or in confusion." (Haydock)... read more

Muster. Literally, " remember" (Haydock) the ancient heroes, Salmanasar, &c. (Calmet) --- Stumble, by running hastily on. (Challoner) --- Prepared to defend the city. (Haydock) --- All this represents a city surprised. It attempts to defend itself; but God renders all efforts vain. (Calmet) read more
