Huz'zab. (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.
