Nahum 3:3
_ _ horseman — distinct from “the horses” (in the chariots, Nahum 3:2).
_ _ lifteth up — denoting readiness for fight [Ewald]. Gesenius translates, “lifteth up (literally, ‘makes to ascend’) his horse.” Similarly Maurer, “makes his horse to rise up on his hind feet.” Vulgate translates, “ascending,” that is, making his horse to advance up to the assault. This last is perhaps better than English Version.
_ _ the bright sword and the glittering spear — literally, “the glitter of the sword and the flash of the spear!” This, as well as the translation, “the horseman advancing up,” more graphically presents the battle scene to the eye.
_ _ they stumble upon their corpses — The Medo-Babylonian enemy stumble upon the Assyrian corpses. |
Nahum 3:3
The horsemen — The Chaldeans and their confederates. |
- bright sword and the glittering spear:
- Heb. flame of the sword, and lightning of the spear,
Nahum 2:4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Habakkuk 3:11 The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, [and] at the shining of thy glittering spear.
|
- and there:
Isaiah 37:36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
Ezekiel 31:3-13 Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. ... Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
Ezekiel 39:4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be devoured.
