The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:11-12

The woe against Edom. We have here an inspired description of an ideal hate. It is loaded with every quality, and emphasized by every circumstance, and stained by every act, which could conspire to establish for it an "unbeaten record" in the emulation of evil passions. I. IT RESTS ON A BROTHER . Over and above the brotherhood arising out of their common humanity ( Acts 17:26 ; Genesis 9:5 ), Israel and Edom were bound by the nearer tie of descent from the twin sons of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:11-12

A brother's faithlessness and injustice. If Tyre was doubly blamable because, being an ally, she turned against Israel, much more deserving of censure was Edom, inasmuch as Edom was near akin to Israel, and yet was guilty of the Conduct described in this passage. I. KINDRED INVOLVES SACRED OBLIGATIONS TO MUTUAL REGARD AND SUCCOUR . Moses had addressed Edom as a brother, and Israel had forborne to attack Edom, even when tempted to do so by most unneighbourly,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:12

Teman is the region of Idumaea, of which Bozrah is the capital. Both Jerome and Eusebius ('Onomast.') speak of a city so called not far from Petra; but in the Old Testament the name is applied to a district; and as the word in Hebrew means "south," it is probably the southern portion of the land of Edom. Bozrah ( hod . Busaireh ) was the old capital of Edom, situated on a hill south of the Dead Sea (see Genesis 36:33 ; Isaiah 34:6 ). Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 49:17 ) predicts the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:13

Ammon was connected with Israel as being sprung from Lot, and together with Moab, which had the same origin, retained the stamp of its incestuous birth in habits, character, and worship ( Genesis 19:30 , etc.). The Ammonites seem to have been a predatory and roving nation, though the abundance of rains in the district shows that they possessed fixed abodes; but Rabbah was the only city of importance in their territory ( 2 Samuel 11:1 ). Their hostility to Israel was first shown in their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:13-15

The woe against Ammon: brutality in its element. There is a climax in these woes as we advance. Each seems to outdo in horror the one before. This one in which Ammon figures has circumstances of wanton atrocity and senseless savagery in it unparalleled in any other. I. UNNATURAL CONNECTIONS MAY BE EXPECTED TO BREED UNNATURAL MONSTERS . Ammon and Moab were the children of unnatural and shameful lust ( Genesis 19:30-38 ). Begotten in drunkenness, and conceived in a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:13-15

Greed of territory. The history of the Ammonites is full of indications of their natural qualities and of their conduct towards Israel. They were an unprincipled arid cruel people, and were continually at war with their neighbours. Their settlement on the east of the Jordan brought them into constant conflict with the Jews, and from the Book of Deuteronomy down to that of Nehemiah references to Ammon occur from which we gather that they were an idolatrous, restless, pitiless, lustful, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 1:14

Rabbah , "the Great," or Rabbath-Ammon, the capital of Ammon, was situated on the southern arm of the Jabbok, and was a place of remarkable strength (see Deuteronomy 3:11 ; 2 Samuel 11:1 ; 2 Samuel 12:26 , etc.; 1 Chronicles 20:1-3 ). "For picturesqueness of situation, I know of no ruins to compare with Ammon. The most striking feature is the citadel, which formerly contained not merely the garrison, but an upper town, and covered an extensive area. The lofty plateau on which it... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Amos 1:12

But - (And I, in My turn and as a consequence of these sins) will send a fire upon Teman “Teman,” say Eusebius and Jerome , “was a country of the princes of Edom, which had its name from Teman son of Eliphaz, son of Esau Genesis 36:11, Genesis 36:15. But even to this day there is a village, called Teman, about 5 (Eusebius says 15) miles from Petra, where there is also a Roman garrison, from which place was Eliphaz, king of the Themanites.” It is, however, probably the district which is meant,... read more
