Nahum (Old Testament)
Nahum is a prophecy of Nahab, the prophet of the Old Testament Israel, Nahum, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Nahum consists of 3, 47, 558 words and 2,100 characters in the Hebrew Bible. Nahum's Hebrew name is 'Nahum', which means 'comfort'. It is called 'Nehum' in the Septuagint, then 'Nahum' in Nebula, 'Nahum' in English Bible, and 'Nahong Book' in Chinese Bible. Data on Nahum are recorded only in this book. It is said to be the home town of El Gos, but it is unclear where El Goth is. There are two events that are very important in determining the age of Nahum. One is the fall of Noamon. The other is the fall of Nineveh. The age of Nahum 's activities would be the middle of these two events. Nahum was the record of the fall of Noamon, which was occupied by Assyrian King Ahsuburniar in 661.
