Nahum2:12
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps , and strangled for his lionesses , and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravine .
The Prophet continues the Metaphor, this Lion is the King of Assyria.
Formerly did fall upon his Neighbour Nations, broke their strength, and rob'd their Treasuries, and store-houses, and broke them in pieces.
The young brood of the Assyrian Royal Family.
Queens, Concubines, or Ladies in the Assyrian Court.
His Treasuries, Magazines, and Royal Seats, called Dens in a decorum to the speech he had used.
Ingeminating what was before spoken.
Spoils which his ravenous mind and hand could lay hold on; all was prey that he could take.
