This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
multitude - Hebrew, “Amon” (Nah 3:8, Margin, “No-Ammon”), the same as Thebes or Diospolis in Upper Egypt, where Jupiter Ammon had his famous temple. In English Version, “multitude” answers to “populous No” (Nah 3:8; Eze 30:15). The reference to “their gods” which follows, makes the translation more likely, “Ammon of No,” that is, No and her idol Ammon; so the Chaldee Version. So called either from Ham, the son of Noah; or, the “nourisher,” as the word means.
their kings - the kings of the nations in league with Egypt.
