Bible (ASV) 34: Nahum

The "Bible (ASV) 34: Nahum" is a book in the American Standard Version of the Bible. It is believed to have been written by a prophet named Nahum, who lived in ancient times. Some experts believe that Nahum prophesied during the reign of a king named Ahaz, while others think it was during the reign of Hezekiah. The book was likely written in Jerusalem, where Nahum witnessed the invasion of an Assyrian king named Sennacherib and the destruction of his army. Another theory suggests that the book was written just before the fall of a city called Nineveh. This theory is supported by the fact that Nahum mentions the Assyrian destruction of another city called Thebes, which happened before the fall of Nineveh. This brief summary provides an overview of the book and its historical context.
