Nahúm 2:6 Meaning and Commentary

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.

Nahúm 2:6 In-Context

4 Por las calles corren furiosos los carros, se precipitan por las plazas, su aspecto es semejante a antorchas, como relámpagos se lanzan.
5 Se acuerda él de sus nobles que tropiezan en su marcha, se apresuran a su muralla, y es preparada la defensa.
6 Las compuertas de los rĂ­os se abren, y el palacio se llena de terror.
7 Está decretado: la reina es despojada y deportada, y sus sirvientas gimen como palomas, golpeándose el pecho.
8 Aunque Nínive era como estanque de aguas desde la antiguedad; ahora ellos huyen. ¡Deteneos! ¡Deteneos! Pero nadie se vuelve.
