Nahum was a native of Elkosh, whose site is unknown, but traditionally was a little village in Galilee.

Believed to have prophesied after captivity of the ten tribes and between the two invasions of Sennacherib, whom Hezekiah had bribed with the treasure of the temple. The book is considered a sequel to that of Jonah.

Nahum repeats denunciations. There are three distinct predictions:

1. Sudden destruction of Sennacherib's army (Nahum 1:12) and his death in the house of his god (Nahum 1:14).

2. Inevitable capture of Nineveh by sudden eruption of river in midst of siege. (Nahum 2:6.)

3. Its utter desolation, 3rd chapter. In Nahum's time Nineveh was the largest and most opulent city in the world. It was captured by Cyaxares B. C. 606 and utterly destroyed, so that its very site was unknown a century after its fall. Nahum was considered to be the son of an Israelite captive and the vivid picture of Nineveh to have been drawn from his personal observation.

The real prophecy of Nahum is preceded by a psalm. 1:2, 2:1-3.

Nah. 1: 15

Nah. 2-2

Already the bearer of glad tidings is speaking over the hills to Judah.; the final restoration of Jehovah's land and people is at hand.
