Cultural and Historical Background: Nahum was a prophet who lived during the 7th century BCE. His prophetic ministry is traditionally dated to the reign of King Josiah of Judah. Nahum's prophecy is primarily directed against the city of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, which was known for its brutality and oppression. The Book of Nahum predicts the fall of Nineveh, which occurred in 612 BCE, as a divine act of justice and a source of comfort to the oppressed people of Judah.
