John Trapp on Nahum 2:7

Verſe 7: And Huzza ſhall be led away captive] The Queen; ſo called, becauſe the ſtood firm, and was beſt underlaid of any other, as was thought, Some render it, quae firma ſtabat, ducta eſt in exilium. She that was wont to ſtand at the kings right hand (as Pſal. 45.) which is a place both of dignity and of ſafety. As Chriſt is at Gods right hand Pſal. 110.1. ſo the Church is at his, Pſal. 45.10. and he hath led captivity captive Eph. 4.8. ſpoiled Principalities and powers, made an open ſhew of them, triumphing over them in himſelf, Col. 2.15. This is the ſaints happineſſe: they are out of gun-ſhot, more then Conquerours, even Triumphers, 2 Cor. 2.14.

ſhe ſhall be brought up] whither ſhe would not, to take horſe or coach to go into captivity, as Q. Zenobia was brought in triumph to Rome in golden fetters, by Aurelianus the Emperour.

and her maides ſhall lead her] Her maides of honour; The Gynecium or Seraglio ſhall fall into the hands of rude ſouldiers; and by them be hurried away into a far country. Neither is it without deſert: for omne malum ferè ex Gynaecio; Women are many times meanes of much miſchief: and for their miſcarriages, men fall by the ſword, and the mighty in the warr: the gates alſo of the city lamene and mourn, Eſay. 3.11.25, 26. even for the Ladyes gallantry, whereof we have here an inventory. What a deale of trouble bred Jezabel in Iſrael, Athaliah in Judah, thoſe 2. late turbulent Queen-Mothers in Scotland and France? of which later and her Cardinall Lorraine, One made this ſtinging diſtich, Non audet Stygius Pluto tentare quod audet Effraenis Monachus, plenaque fraud[illegible: 1 letter] anus.

as with the voice of doves] Mourning ſecretly to themſelves, and groaning inwardly;In more in columbarum muſſitantium. Eſay 38.14. & 59.11. as not ſuffered to bark at thoſe that carry them captive, (as Hecuba Queen of Troy did, and is therefore fabled to be turned into a bitch) or to fill the air with complaints of their hard fortunes, as they call it, or to eaſe their grief by loud lamentations; but forced to ſmother it, and take it all to themſelves, which is no ſmall aggravation of it: For Expletur lachrymis egeriturque dolor.Ovid. Their tongues and their tears are womens beſt weapons. Et hic ferè laſciviae, luxus, & libidinis ſinis eſt, ſaith Gualther here. Lo, ſuch, for moſt part, is the end of laſciviouſneſſe, luxury, and luſt. Let women be warned.

tabring upon their breaſts] Not ſinging and playing on inſtruments after their Ladies, as once: but moaning, and groaning, and knocking their breaſts, for the greatneſſe of their grief, and heavineſſe; whereof this is an excellent, and eloquent deſcription.
