EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Forth. Some understand this of Sennacherib. But as his attempt against the people seems to have been prior to the prophecy of Nahum, we may better understand it of Holofernes. Challoner.—One. Septuagint “a most wicked thought against the Lord, devising opposition.” Bible.—We may render, “hath come,” and so forth alluding to Sennacherib and Rabsaces. Isaiah 36:18 and 37:23. Calmet.
