Commentary

Commentary on Nahum 2:13

Theological / Devotional

Against thee. See Nahum 3:5; Jer. 51:25; Eze. 38:3. Nineveh’s destruction came after she had used up her allotted time of probation without coming to a lasting repentance. Divine patience had ceased (see PK 364).

Lord of hosts. For comment see on Jer. 7:3.

Young lions. Here evidently the warriors of the city (see on v. 11).

Messengers. Probably a reference to those who carried the royal orders to civilian and army leaders (see 2 Kings 18:17-19 ; 19:23).
