In Nahum 2:3–5, Nahum’s vision of the pending attack on Nineveh develops as he now sees the attacking army approaching the walls of the city. Visions such as this, of a powerful invading force, are also seen in other prophetic writings.1
The approaching army that Nahum sees is simply described as his mighty men.
Nahum is seeing the Babylonian commander leading his mighty army. But, as throughout the book, the reader is left in no doubt that it is the Lord himself who is bringing this invasion.
4 Les boucliers de ses héros sont rouges, Les guerriers sont vêtus de pourpre; Avec le fer qui étincelle apparaissent les chars, Au jour qu'il a fixé pour la bataille, Et les lances sont agitées.
