Nahum 2:6

The gates of the rivers shall be opened
Of Diava and Adiava, or Lycus and Caprus, between which, according to some writers {i}, Nineveh was situated; or the gates of the city, which lay nearest to the river Tigris, are meant; or that river itself, the plural for the singular, which overflowing, broke down the walls of the city for two and a half miles, and opened a way for the Medes and Chaldeans to enter in; of which see ( Nahum 1:8 ) : and the palace shall be dissolved;
by the inundation, or destroyed by the enemy; meaning the palace of the king, which might be situated near the river; or the temple of Nisroch the Assyrian deity, or Jupiter Belus; for the same word F11 signifies a temple as well as palace.

Naum 2:6 In-Context

4 Os carros andam furiosamente nas ruas; cruzam as praças em todas as direções; parecem como tochas, e correm como os relampagos.
5 Ele se lembra dos seus nobres; eles tropeçam na sua marcha; apressam-se para chegar ao muro de cidade, arma-se a manta.
6 As portas dos rios abrem-se, e o palácio está em confusão.
7 E está decretado: ela é despida , e levada cativa; e as suas servas gemem como pombas, batendo em seus peitos.
8 Nínive desde que existe tem sido como um tanque de águas; elas, porém, fogem agora: parai, parai, clama-se; mas ninguém olhara para trás.
