Nahum the Prophet

Reading from the Synaxarion:

The Prophet Nahum had Elkesaeus (Elkosh) as his homeland, and was
from the tribe of Symeon; he is seventh in order among the twelve
Minor Prophets He prophesied during the time of Hezekias, after the
destruction of Samaria (721 years before Christ), but before the ten tribes
were taken into captivity; he prophesied against Nineveh, the capital
of Assyria. His name means "comforter." His book of prophecy is
divided into three chapters.

Apolytikion in the Second Tone
As we celebrate the memory of Thy Prophet Nahum, O Lord, through him
we beseech Thee to save our souls.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
Thy pure heart, illumined by the Holy Spirit, was a sacred vessel of
resplendent prophecy, for thou didst see things far off as close at hand.
Hence we revere thee, blest Nahum most glorious.
