Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Nahum 1:7

_ _ Here Nahum enters on his special subject, for which the previous verses have prepared the way, namely, to assure his people of safety in Jehovah under the impending attack of Sennacherib (Nahum 1:7), and to announce the doom of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian foe (Nahum 1:8). The contrast of Nahum 1:7, Nahum 1:8 heightens the force.

_ _ he knoweth — recognizes as His own (Hosea 13:5; Amos 3:2); and so, cares for and guards (Psalms 1:6; 2 Timothy 2:19).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Nahum 1:2-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Nahum 1:7

Knoweth — He approves, owns, and preserves them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Nahum 1:7
