Commentary on Nahum 3:18

Theological / Devotional

Shepherds slumber. The leaders of the nation are here represented, either as being asleep to their responsibilities or as being actually killed in battle, “sleeping” the sleep of death.

Scattered. With their leaders gone, the people of Nineveh can no longer offer an effective resistance to their enemies.
