From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
noun
1: a Hebrew minor prophet of the 7th century BC
2: an Old Testament book telling Nahum's prophecy of the fall of Nineveh [syn: {Book of Nahum}]
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nahum consolation, the seventh of the so-called minor prophets, an Elkoshite. All we know of him is recorded in the book of his prophecies. He was probably a native of Galilee, and after the deportation of the ten tribes took up his residence in Jerusalem. Others think that Elkosh was the name of a place on the east bank of the Tigris, and that Nahum dwelt there.
