Nahum 2:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This is the insulting or deriding speech of all that see and note it. The dwelling of the lions; Nineveh, compared to a lion's den. Lions; tyrants and bloody warriors, as Pul, Tiglath-pileser, and Shalmaneser. The feeding-place of the young lions; Nineveh. Young lions; princes, the children of those tyrannical kings. The old lion, the king of Assyria, walked in his pride, in safety, and his princes with his rapines about him, which none durst disturb.
