Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 7:9
"And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.""The high places of Isaac ..." "Isaac" is here a title of Israel, as the parallel in the next line shows. It is not the religious conduct of the patriarch Isaac that is under indictment here, but that of the Northern Kingdom. The amazing notion current among many scholars to the effect that there was nothing wrong with those shrines... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 7:10
"Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear his words. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.""Amaziah ..."

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 7:12
"Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophecy there: but prophecy not again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.""O seer, go flee thou away ..." It is puzzling why so many find nothing contemptuous or patronizing in such a statement as this, for there would appear to be plenty of both. It is true, of course, that some have made "seer" in every way a synonym of prophet; but there were... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 7:11
Amos 7:11. Jeroboam shall die by the sword— We do not read above that Amos said this; and as the sacred histories do not inform us that Jeroboam died by the sword, it is most likely this was a falsehood raised by Amaziah to injure Amos. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Amos 7:13
Amos 7:13. For it is the king's chapel, &c.— Because this is the sanctuary of the king, and this is his palace] Samaria was the place where the kings of Israel commonly dwelt: but they had a palace at Beth-el, as this was the place where they exercised their false religion. read more

9. high places—dedicated to idols. of Isaac—They boasted of their following the example of their forefather Isaac, in erecting high places at Beer-sheba (Amos 5:5; compare Genesis 26:23; Genesis 26:24; Genesis 46:1); but he and Abraham erected them before the temple was appointed at Jerusalem—and to God; whereas they did so, after the temple had been fixed as the only place for sacrifices—and to idols.
