The Definition of the word Nahum

Nahum

Consolation, the seventh of the so-called minor prophets, an Elkoshite. All we know of him is recorded in the book of his "prophecies. He was probably a native of Galilee, and after the" deportation of the ten tribes took up his residence in Jerusalem. Others think that Elkosh was the name of a place on "the east bank of the Tigris, and that Nahum dwelt there."
