This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The French reads this verse with a negative distributive, and so links this and the next verse with the former negative, Nah_3:1; thus, The prey departeth not, nor the noise of the whip, nor, &c., intimating the long continuance of the Chaldeans insulting over the Ninevites.



The noise of a whip, with which the charioteer roused and animated the horses which drew the warlike chariots.



The noise of the rattling of the wheels, by the swift motion of the horses,



and of the pransing horses, in the chariots proudly and stately trampling, and of the jumping chariots, made to jump by the swiftness and strength of the horses which drew them.
