Charles Spurgeon Commentary Nahum 3:2-3

"The noise of the whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and prancing horses, and bounding chariots, the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, and the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies; they stumble upon their bodies;-" — Nahum 3:2-3 (ASV)
