Nahum 2:7

Huzzab. The words which follow show that the queen or queen-mother is meant: or, Huzzab may be taken as. verb (dual of nazah), and the "and" as. though (like "but" in Nahum 2:8). In that case read: "though firmly established, she shall be dishonoured and taken captive"; the city being thus personified.

lead her. mourn for, or bemoaning.

tabering. drumming [with their fingers] incessantly. Hebrew. taphaph, from toph. a drum. See note on Exo 15:20. 1 Samuel 10:6.

breasts. hearts. Some codices read "heart" (singular); but others, with eight early printed editions, read "hearts" (plural)
