Commentary on Nahum 2:1

Theological / Devotional

Dasheth. Again the prophet addresses the people of Assyria (see on ch. 1:14), warning them of their troublous future. The context makes evident (chs. 1:1; 2:1, 8; 3:1; etc.) that ch. 2 is descriptive of the fall of Nineveh.

Before thy face. When the attacking forces surround the city, its inhabitants will plainly see and sense their peril.

Keep the munition. Or, “guard the fortified place.” In a slightly ironical tone the prophet admonishes the people of Nineveh to prepare for the final siege of the city, though such preparation would be in vain.
