The LORD of Hosts
This title emphasizes God's supreme authority and power over all heavenly and earthly armies. In Hebrew, "Yahweh Sabaoth" signifies God's role as the commander of the celestial forces, underscoring His ability to execute judgment and deliverance. This title reassures believers of God's omnipotence and His active involvement in the affairs of nations.

the God of Israel
This phrase highlights the covenant relationship between God and Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His chosen people, despite their frequent disobedience. Historically, this relationship is foundational to understanding the prophetic messages in the Old Testament, as God consistently acts in accordance with His promises to Israel.

says
This word introduces a divine proclamation, indicating that the following message is not merely a human opinion but a direct communication from God. In the prophetic tradition, such declarations carry the weight of divine authority and are meant to be heeded with utmost seriousness.

Behold
This term is used to draw attention to the significance of the forthcoming statement. It serves as a call to the audience to pay close attention and to prepare for an important revelation. In the context of prophecy, "behold" often precedes a declaration of God's intervention in human history.

I will punish
This phrase conveys God's intention to bring justice and retribution. The Hebrew root "paqad" can mean to visit, attend to, or punish, depending on the context. Here, it underscores God's role as a righteous judge who holds nations accountable for their actions, particularly those that oppose His will.

Amon of Thebes
Amon was a major deity in Egyptian mythology, often associated with the city of Thebes. The mention of Amon signifies God's judgment against the false gods of Egypt, demonstrating His supremacy over all spiritual entities. Archaeological findings in Thebes reveal the grandeur of Amon's worship, which God declares He will dismantle.

Pharaoh
The Pharaoh was the ruler of Egypt, often considered a god-king. By targeting Pharaoh, God challenges the political and religious authority of Egypt, illustrating that no earthly power can withstand His judgment. Historically, Pharaohs were seen as divine intermediaries, but this verse asserts God's ultimate sovereignty.

Egypt
Egypt represents a powerful nation known for its wealth, military might, and idolatry. Throughout the Bible, Egypt often symbolizes worldly power and opposition to God's people. God's judgment on Egypt serves as a warning to all nations that rely on their own strength rather than acknowledging His authority.

her gods
This phrase refers to the pantheon of deities worshiped in Egypt. God's judgment against these gods demonstrates the futility of idolatry and the truth of monotheism. The Bible consistently portrays the impotence of idols compared to the living God, who alone is worthy of worship.

and her kings
The plural "kings" may refer to the succession of rulers in Egypt or to the broader leadership structure. God's judgment extends to all levels of authority, emphasizing that no leader is beyond His reach. This serves as a reminder that all earthly power is temporary and subject to divine oversight.

and those who trust in Pharaoh
This phrase highlights the misplaced trust of those who rely on human leaders for security and salvation. Biblically, trust in God is paramount, and reliance on human power is often depicted as folly. This serves as a call to place faith in God alone, who is the true source of strength and deliverance.

(25) The multitude of No.--More accurately, I will punish Amon No. The first word is the Egyptian Ammon or Hammon, but is probably used also, with a natural paronomasia on the name of the city, in its Hebrew sense of "multitude." "No" here, and as No Amon in Nahum 3:8, stands for Thebes, the capital of Upper Egypt. The name appears in the form NIA in Assyrian inscriptions. Compare also Ezekiel 30:14-16.

Verse 25. - The multitude of No; rather, Amen of No. Amon-Ra, or rather Amen-Ra, was the name adopted at Thebes (Homer's Thebes "of the hundred gateways," 'Iliad,' 9:383, called here "No," and in Nahum 3:8 "No [of] Anion") from the time of the eleventh dynasty, for the sun god Ra. Amen (Amen) signifies "hidden," for it is the mysterious, invisible deity who manifests himself in bodily form in the sun. From this name comes the classic designation, Jupiter-Ammon. Their gods... their kings; rather, her gods... her kings (viz. Egypt's). The "kings" are probably the high officials of the state, not a few of whom were either by birth or marriage members of the royal family. Even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him. With a suggestive allusion to the many in Judah who "trusted" in that "broken reed" (Isaiah 36:6).
