520 |a It appears from the book of Nahum that Judah was oppressed by the powerful Assyrian people, symbolised by the city Nineveh and its king. Nahum is renowned in the Old Testament for its exceptional poetry and the use of rhetorical devices. Chapter 2 in particular serves as an example of this phenomenon. The view argued in this article is that a call is made to the people of Judah to witness a display of Yahweh's power. The appeal is made to see Yahweh's power in action, rather just to hear about his great power. This is done by means of using two images, one of a battle scene in which Yahweh is defeating the enemy Assyria and the second of a conquered and deserted city. This is followed by a metaphor of a lion representing the Assyrian king who has lost his power. The once powerful king was outclassed by the power of the Sovereign God, Yahweh.
