Albert Barnes Commentary Nahum 2:9

"Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture." — Nahum 2:9 (ASV)

Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold - Nineveh had not formerly listened to the voice of the prophet, but had turned back to sin; it cannot listen now, for fear. He turns to the spoiler to whom God’s judgments assigned her, and who is too ready to hear. The gold and silver, which the last Assyrian King had gathered into the palace he fired, was mostly removed (the story says, treacherously) to Babylon. Arbaces is said to have carried this away and to have removed the residue, amounting to many talents, to Agbatana, the Median capital.

For there is none end of the store. Nineveh had stored up from her foundation until then, but at last for the spoiler. When thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled (Isaiah 33:1). Many perish and leave their wealth to others (Psalms 49:10). The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just (Proverbs 13:22). And glory out of all the pleasant furniture, (literally as in the margin, “glory out of all vessels of desire”); i.e., however large the spoil, it would be but a portion only. Yet all their wealth, though more than enough for the enemy and for them, could not save them.

Her “glory” was but a “weight” to weigh her down, so that she should not rise again (Exodus 15:10). Their wealth brought on the day of calamity and was of no use in it, although it could not be exhausted even by the spoiler. Jerome: “They could not spoil so much as she supplied to be spoiled.”
