Nahum 1:8
_ _ with an overrunning flood — that is, with irresistible might which overruns every barrier like a flood. This image is often applied to overwhelming armies of invaders. Also of calamity in general (Psalms 32:6; Psalms 42:7; Psalms 90:5). There is, perhaps, a special allusion to the mode of Nineveh’s capture by the Medo-Babylonian army; namely, through a flood in the river which broke down the wall twenty furlongs (see on Nahum 2:6; Isaiah 8:8; Daniel 9:26; Daniel 11:10, Daniel 11:22, Daniel 11:40).
_ _ end of the place thereof — Nineveh is personified as a queen; and “her place” of residence (the Hebrew for “thereof” is feminine) is the city itself (Nahum 2:8), [Maurer]. Or, He shall so utterly destroy Nineveh that its place cannot be found; Nahum 3:17 confirms this (compare Psalms 37:36; Daniel 2:35; Revelation 12:8; Revelation 20:11).
_ _ darkness — the severest calamities. |
Nahum 1:8
An over — running flood — His judgments like a mighty flood that overflows all banks, shall swallow up Assyria. Thereof — Of Nineveh, that is Nineveh itself. Darkness — Troubles, and desolating afflictions. |
Nahum 1:8
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the (i) place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
(i) Signifying that God will suddenly destroy Nineveh and the Assyrians in such a way, that they will lie in perpetual darkness, and never recover their strength again. |
