aWill flee from you, and say,
b‘Nineveh is laid waste!
cWho will bemoan her?’
Where shall I seek comforters for you?”
That was situated by the1 River,
That had the waters around her,
Whose rampart was the sea,
Whose wall was the sea?
She went into captivity;
aHer young children also were dashed to pieces
bAt the head of every street;
They ccast lots for her honorable men,
And all her great men were bound in chains.

Nahum 3:8
Art thou better than populous No - No-Ammon, or Diospolis, in the Delta, on one branch of the Nile. This is supposed to be the city mentioned by Nahum; and which had been lately destroyed, probably by the Chaldeans.
The waters round about it - Being situated in the Delta, it had the fork of two branches of the Nile to defend it by land; and its barrier or wall was the sea, the Mediterranean, into which these branches emptied themselves: so that this city, and the place it stood on, were wholly surrounded by the waters.
