Nahum 1:1 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

CONTENTS

The chief points in the opening of Nahum's prophecy, are to set forth the Lord's just judgment on his enemies, and his mercy over his Israel.

Nahum 1:1

Nahum 1:1

1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
