Nahum 2:5
_ _ The Assyrian preparations for defense.
_ _ He — the Assyrian king.
_ _ shall recount his worthies — (Nahum 3:18). Review, or count over in his mind, his nobles, choosing out the bravest to hasten to the walls and repel the attack. But in vain; for
_ _ they shall stumble in their walk — “they shall stumble in their advance” through fear and hurry.
_ _ the defence shall be prepared — rather, the covering machine used by besiegers to protect themselves in advancing to the wall. Such sudden transitions, as here from the besieged to the besiegers, are frequent (compare Ezekiel 4:2), [Maurer]. Or, used by the besieged Assyrians [Calvin]. |
Nahum 2:5
He — The king of Babylon. His worthies — Approved officers and commanders. Stumble — Shew such forwardness, that they shall not stand to pick their way. They — The Assyrians to defend, the Chaldeans to assault the walls of Nineveh. |
Nahum 2:5
(f) He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
(f) Then the Assyrians will seek by all means to gather their power, but all things will fail them. |
