Nahum

Who

Nahum of Elkosh.

When

Between 663 and 612 BC, before Nineveh fell.

What it is

The fall of Nineveh, announced to people Assyria had terrorised for a century.

What to watch for

Read it beside Jonah, where the same city repents. This is the other half of that story, and the two are meant to sit uncomfortably together.

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.Nahum 1:7
