Huzzab

(fixed), according to the general opinion of the Jews, was the queen of Nineveh at the time when Nahum delivered his prophecy. (Nahum 2:7) (B.C. about 700.) The moderns follow the rendering in the margin of our English Bible—“that which was established.” Still it is not improbable that after all Huzzab may really be a proper name. It may mean “the Zab country,” or the fertile tract east of the Tigris, watered by the upper and lower Zab rivers.

HUZ'ZAB appears in the A.V. as a proper name, a queen of Nineveh in the days of Nahum, Nah 2:7. Many scholars, however, take it as a geographical term meaning "the country of Zab." But perhaps it is best regarded as a part of speech, and read: "And it is decreed."
