This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pathros - the Thebaid, or Upper Egypt, which had been especially harassed by Nebuchadnezzar (Nah 3:8, Nah 3:10). The oldest part of Egypt as to civilization and art. The Thebaid was anciently called “Egypt” [Aristotle]. Therefore it is called the “land of the Egyptians’ birth” (Margin, for “habitation”).
base kingdom - Under Amasis it was made dependent on Babylon; humbled still more under Cambyses; and though somewhat raised under the Ptolemies, never has it regained its ancient pre-eminence.
