Clarke's Nahum 2:4 Bible Commentary
The chariots shall rage - Those of the besiegers and the besieged, meeting in the streets, producing universal confusion and carnage.
Wesley's Nahum 2:4 Bible Commentary
2:4 In the streets - Of Nineveh, when taken. Justle - By reason of their multitude and fury. In the broad ways - Where is most room, and yet scarce enough for them to move. Like torches - What with sparkling fire caused by their horses and chariots, what with the glittering of the polished irons about them, and what with the light of flaming torches carried in them. Like the lightnings - Both for speed, irrestibleness and terror.
