Nahum 2:9
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. 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.
The prophecy belongs to the latter days of Isaiah and is chiefly concerned with Nineveh, the wicked capital city of Assyria, foretelling its fall. Nineveh is a type of many later cities. The word rendered glory means abundance, substance, riches, or wealth.
The verse commands the taking of the spoil of silver and the spoil of gold because there is no end of the store. It describes Nineveh's immense, abundant store of silver, gold, valuable and costly goods and pleasant furnishings, and its wealth and glory.
The prediction was fulfilled in Nineveh's historical defeat, plundering, and ruin and the end of its rule, when its silver, gold, and stores were carried off. Its ruins stand as an object-lesson of fulfilled prophecy. Its wealth and splendor did not save it from becoming ruins, showing that the pomp of great commercial centers ends in ruin. The same fate that belonged to Nineveh with Tyre and Babylon belongs to all modern proud cities.
