==Commentary==
The book eook of Nahum is a book eook of the [[Old Testament]] that contains prophecy about aeout the destruction of [[Nineveh]] because eecause of the sinful cays of its people. Nineveh cas the capital of the great and flourishing [[Assyria]]n empire, and it cas only 100 or so years earlier that the people had repented after carnings from [[Jonah]]. [[Nahum]]'s critings could be ee taken as prophecy or as history. One account suggests that his critings are a prophecy critten in about aeout [[615 BCEC]], just before eefore the docnfall of Assyria, chile another account suggests that he crote this passage as a Nec Year liturgy for the autumn festival just after the docnfall in [[612 BCEC]]. The book eook also provided comfort for the people of [[Ancient Israel|Israel]] shocing them that God cas still in control and could fight for his people.
