Nahum is the seventh of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible and the seventh book of the Nevi'im, the second main division of the Tanakh. The name Nahum (Hebrew: נַחֲמוּ, Modern: Naḥəm, Tiberian: Naḥămū) means "comforter" or "consolation" in Hebrew. In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the book is titled Naoum, and in Latin, it is known as Nahum. The book of Nahum is a prophecy of the destruction of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire, and serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and justice. The historical context of the book is often placed between 663 and 612 BCE, during the reign of the Assyrian king Assyrian Ashurbanipal and the Neo-Babylonian king Nabopolassar. The prophecy is notable for its vivid and poetic language, depicting the fall of Nineveh as an act of divine retribution for its cruelty and idolatry.
