The name “Nahum“ means comfort or consolation. His book, a message of destruction for Nineveh, the capital city of the Assyrian Empire, brought comfort to the nations under Assyrian domination. The only thing we know about Nahum is found in 1:1 which says he was from Elkosh, a town or village about which we have no information. When did Nahum serve as God’s prophet?
