Matthew Poole and continuators on Nahum 2:9

9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store , and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.

God speaks by his Prophet, commanding that it be done, and foretelling that it certainly shall be done, and Scythians, Medes and Chaldeans, or who ever else did associate in the War, and sacking of Nineveh, may be supposed to encourage one another in the plundering of the City,

conquering Souldiers, you that come together in hope of this booty.

Here's enough for you all, Nineveh hath been long gathering, and hath gathered much treasure, it is uncountable; therefore take all you can lay hands on, possibly it may be the foretelling of the chief Commander▪ his giving his Souldiers leave to take what they could, for so much as after all, they would leave enough, a great treasure for him.

Of all sorts, both for use and Luxury, both for necessity and superfluity.

Splendid and rich Furniture in their Temples, Palaces, publick Aedifices, and private Houses. Their rich Vessels, costly Hangings, and gaudy Apparel, in their Ward Robes, in their Closets, and in their Shops, all delightful to the eye, and rich in the real value.
