	Nahum - LoveToKnow 1911
		It was long ago noticed that traces of an alphabetic acrostic survive in this section of the book; throughout the whole of chap.
		The date of the composition of Nahum's prophecy must lie between 607-606, when Nineveh was captured and destroyed by the Babylonians and Medes, and the capture of Thebes (No-Amon) which is alluded to in iii.
		This was effected for the second time and most completely by Assur-bani-pal in 663 or 662 B.C. The tone of the prophecy suggests, on the one hand, that the fall of Nineveh is imminent, while, on the other, the reference to Thebes suggests that the disaster that had befallen it was still freshly remembered.

		In the prologue to his commentary of the book, St. Jerome informs us that some understood `Elqoshite as a patronymic indication: "the son of Elqosh"; he, however, holds the commonly accepted view that the word `Elqoshite shows that the Prophet was a native of Elqosh.
		According to this opinion, Nahum was born in Assyria, which would explain his perfect acquaintance with the topography and customs of Ninive exhibited in the book.

		His book is short in length and consists almost entirely of a prophecy of Nineveh's destruction.
		Nahum explains that because of Assyria's pride and cruelty in their destruction of Israel, and because of their idolatry, treachery, superstition, and injustice, their empire would be destroyed as punishment.

	Spronk,Klaas (1997) Nahum Commentary
		The relation with cultic literature induced Humbert, who interprets the book of Nahum as a unity, to formulate the theory that it was written as a liturgy celebrating the downfall of Nineveh in a ceremony in the temple in the autumn of 612 BCE.
		The book of Nahum is the seventh of the Twelve (`Minor') Prophets.
		In his view the change of place of the book of Jonah marks a development in its interpretative history: `from a narrative postscript on Israelity prophecy to an example of Israelite prophetic literature and finally to a historical account of an eighth century prophetic figure' (Jones 1995, 239).

	Review of Julia Myers O'Brien, Nahum
		Further, the book's presumption of essential gender roles of male dominance and female subservience is broken down through the figure of a harlot, a woman beyond male control.
		Similarly, the book's fascination with, and joy in, violence is blunted by reflecting on "the Other as self," giving faces to the Other (e.g., Nineveh personified as a woman or reflections upon modern war photography) and noting how the text's literary artistry draws the reader's attention away from its violence.
		Finally, she reads Nahum in dialogue with other Oracles Against the Nations and the book of Lamentations, which shows that Nahum is more explicit than Jeremiah, while Lamentations exhibits sympathy for the fallen woman/city of Jerusalem.
