2 Chasquido de látigos, ruido del crujir de ruedas, galopar de caballos, y saltar de carros;

Nahúm 3:2 Meaning and Commentary

Nahum 3:2

The noise of a whip
Of a horseman or chariot driver whipping his horses to make speed to Nineveh, and enter into it, so near as to be heard by the inhabitants of it; and is thus represented in order to strike terror into them: and the noise of the rattling of the wheels;
that is, of the chariots upon the stones, whose drivers drove Jehu like, making the utmost haste they could to get in first, and seize the prey: and of the pransing horses;
or bounding steeds, upon a full gallop; either with horsemen on them riding full speed to partake of the booty; or in chariots, in which they caper and prance, and shake the ground as they go; hence it follows: and of the jumping chariots;
which, through the swiftness of the motion, seem to leap and dance as they run along.

Nahúm 3:2 In-Context

1 ¡Ay de la ciudad sanguinaria, toda llena de mentira y de pillaje, que nunca cesa en su rapiña!
2 Chasquido de látigos, ruido del crujir de ruedas, galopar de caballos, y saltar de carros;
3 carga de caballería, flamear de espadas, fulgor de lanzas; multitud de heridos, montones de muertos, innumerables cadáveres; tropiezan en los cadáveres.
4 Todo por las muchas prostituciones de la ramera, la encantadora, la maestra de hechizos, que seduce a las naciones con sus prostituciones y a los pueblos con sus hechizos.
5 Heme aquí contra tideclara el SEÑOR de los ejércitos. Levantaré tus faldas sobre tu rostro, y mostraré a las naciones tu desnudez y a los reinos tu verguenza.
