Nahum 2:5

NAHUM—NOTE ON Nahum 2:5 The attacking army now reaches the wall of Nineveh proper. He remembers. “He” (see v. Nahum 2:3) may be so eager to be involved in the attack that he almost forgets to delegate parts of the operation to his officers. These officers, eager both to join in the attack themselves and to please their superior(s), practically stumble over one another trying to rush into the action.
