Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:1-15

Amos 9:9-Ezra : . The Restoration of God’ s People.— This section is probably a post-exilic appendix to the book. The point of view has changed, the fate of Israel being quite different from that contemplated in the rest of the book, and the ideas reflecting the mind of a much later Jewish community.Yahweh will destroy, but He will not utterly destroy ( cf. end of Amos 9:8, if genuine). Israel must be sifted and scattered among the nations ( Amos 9:9). But it shall be like the sifting of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Amos 9:15

I will plant, or settle them, as trees that are well rooted, upon their land, by ancient gift, and by late restitution to it by the Lord. They shall no more be pulled up by the violence of their enemies which promise is an implicit condition that they seek, and not forsake the Lord, and was on God’s part with admirable constancy and patience to that sinful nation performed through six hundred years, perhaps the longest time of freedom from captivity they ever knew. Which I have given, of free... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Amos 9:1-15

Chapter 9Now in chapter 9 the final prophecy of Amos, he said,I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: and he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered ( Amos 9:1 ).So this great shaking of God. God said that though they try and flee, they're not going to escape. Though they seem to escape,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Amos 9:1-15

Amos 9:1 . I saw the Lord standing upon the altar in Jerusalem, as in Isaiah 6:1, and Ezekiel 9:3.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:11-15

THE EPILOGUE PROMISES OF A BRIGHTER FUTURE, Amos 9:11-15. In Amos 9:9 the prophet promises the preservation of a remnant, in Amos 9:10 the destruction of the wicked. Nothing more need be said about the latter, for they are annihilated; but what will become of the former? It will be exalted to glory and honor. This exaltation is the subject of 11-15. Like the other prophets, our author is convinced that the remnant will be the nucleus of the new kingdom of God, which will be ruled by the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:13-15

13-15. The outward extension of the territory will be followed by internal peace and prosperity. Amos 9:13 promises extreme fertility of the soil (see on Hosea 2:20-21; compare Joel 2:22 ff.; Leviticus 26:5). The translations of A.V. and R.V. are not quite accurate. Literally the verse reads, “Behold, the days are about to come, saith Jehovah, that the plowman and the reaper shall touch each other, as well as the treader of grapes and the sower of seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet... read more
