Nahum, whose name signifies A Comforter, was a native of Elcese, or Elcesai, supposed to be a little town in Galilee. He prophesied, after the ten tribes were carried into captivity, and foretold the utter destruction of Ninive, by the Babylonians and Medes: which happened in the reign of Josias. (For more information, see the article [http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10670a.htm NAHUM] in the Catholic Encyclopedia.)[http://www.newadvent.org/bible/nah000.htm]
