Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 6:9

"And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die. And when a man's uncle shall take him up, even he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is in the innermost parts of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy peace; for we may not make mention of the name of Jehovah."The situation envisioned by these verses presupposes the possible survival of "ten men in one... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Amos 6:9

9. If as many as ten (Leviticus 26:26; Zechariah 8:23) remain in a house (a rare case, and only in the scattered villages, as there will be scarcely a house in which the enemy will leave any), they shall all, to a man, die of the plague, a frequent concomitant of war in the East (Jeremiah 24:10; Jeremiah 44:13; Ezekiel 6:11). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 6:9-10

So thorough would be the overthrow that even if 10 men took refuge in one house they could not preserve their own lives. If the uncle of one of the dead rulers came to bury his nephew, or if a less interested undertaker did so, those still alive and hiding in the house would beg him not to reveal their presence. "Undertaker" is literally "one who burns him." Since cremation was not acceptable in ancient Israel, the reference may be to burning corpses during a plague that would accompany the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Amos 6:9-10

(9, 10) Ten . . . uncle.—In some large house it might be that ten are left remaining, but even these are devoured by the pestilence which hovers in the track of war. Nine have fallen victims. Fathers and brothers are all gone, and the uncle comes in as the funereal burner, to carry out the corpse to the pyre, and finds in the innermost parts of the house the tenth victim of the fell disease yet alive. A hurried word or two passes between them: “Is there yet another with thee?” and the answer... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Amos 6:1-14

Amos 6:1 There is a saying which I have heard attributed to Mr. Carlyle about Socrates, a very happy saying, whether it is really Mr. Carlyle's or not which excellently marks the essential point in which Hebraism differs from Hellenism. 'Socrates,' this saying goes, 'is terribly at ease in Zion'. Hebraism and here is the source of its wonderful strength has always been serenely preoccupied with an awful sense of the impossibility of being at ease in Zion.... It is all very well to talk of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Amos 6:1-14

3. "AT EASE IN ZION"Amos 6:1-14The evil of the national worship was the false political confidence which it engendered. Leaving the ritual alone, Amos now proceeds to assault this confidence. We are taken from the public worship of the people to the private banquets of the rich, but again only in order to have their security and extravagance contrasted with the pestilence, the war, and the captivity that are rapidly approaching."Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion"-it is a proud and... read more
