| Nahum 1:8
| But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
| Thereof; viz. of Ninive. (Challoner) --- This is connected with Ver. 1. (Haydock) --- Ninive was taken by the waters of the Tigris overflowing, at the first siege. (Diod. ii.; Athen. xii.) --- The like might happen at the second, though profane authors be silent. (Calmet) --- Many think that the flood means great armies, Isaias 8:7. (Forer.; Vatable) --- Septuagint, "He will utterly destroy: those who rise up and his enemies, darkness," etc. (Haydock) --- Chaldean, The.[Theodotion?] and Aq.[Aquila?] adopt the same sense, but Symmachus, etc., agree with us. (Calmet)
