Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Amos 9:14-15

Amos 9:14-15. I will bring again the captivity of my people I will restore them to their own country, and settle them in it. See the following verse, and notes on Isaiah 11:12; and Ezekiel 28:25. They shall build the waste cities, &c. Compare the texts referred to in the margin.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

9:11-15 HOPE FOR THE FUTUREBeyond judgment Amos sees God’s forgiveness. Captivity in a foreign land will bring to an end the old division between the northern state of Israel and the southern state of Judah. God will bring the reunited people back into their land, where they will live in security and prosperity under the rule of the restored Davidic dynasty. Israel’s rule will extend over other nations, here represented by Edom (11-12). The land will become so productive that grain will grow... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 9:14

"And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, saith Jehovah thy God."Just as the materialistic metaphor of Amos 9:13 did not indicate any of those things literally, the same is true here. The... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 9:14

Yahweh also promised to restore the Israelites to the Promised Land following their captivity and exile from it. They would return to their land and establish life marked by security and joy, abundant food and drink, and beauty and blessing. Such conditions could not occur during wartime (Amos 9:1; Amos 9:10; Amos 2:13-16; Amos 3:11; Amos 3:15; Amos 4:10-11; Amos 5:2-3; Amos 6:9-10; Amos 7:17) but would be possible in peacetime (cf. Leviticus 26:6; Deuteronomy 28:6). read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Amos 9:7-15

3. THE VOICES OF ANOTHER DAWNAmos 9:7-15And now we are come to the part where, as it seems, voices of another day mingle with that of Amos, and silence his judgments in the chorus of their unbroken hope. At first, however, it is himself without doubt who speaks. He takes up the now familiar truth, that when it comes to judgment for sin, Israel is no dearer to Jehovah than any other people of His equal Providence."Are ye not unto Me, O children of Israel-‘tis the oracle of Jehovah-just like the... read more
