The fall of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian
Empire, provided the occasion for this prophetic oracle. The mighty Assyrian
Empire, which had long been a threat to the smaller nations of the ancient
Middle East, was a particular menace to the Israelite people. Its decline,
therefore, in the face of the Neo-Babylonian power of the Medes and the
Chaldeans and its final collapse in the destruction of Nineveh (612 BC) gave the
prophet Nahum cause for extolling these events, which, he announced, occurred
because Assyria's policies were not in accord with God's will. The book contains
many types of material, among which are an acrostic hymn, oracles of judgment,
satire, a curse, and funeral laments, all of which were brought together and
related to the fall of Nineveh.
