Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Amos 1:1-15

Let's turn now to the book of Amos. In the first verse of Amos he introduces himself.These are the words of Amos, who was among the herdmen [or a shepherd] at Tekoa ( Amos 1:1 ),Now Tekoa is a little valley going down toward the Dead Sea from the area of Bethlehem.

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

Amos 1:1 . The words of Amos, written with his own hand. He does not name his parents, because they were plain country people. He was himself among the herdmen of Tekoa, a small city twelve miles south of Jerusalem, 2 Chronicles 11:5-6; 2 Chronicles 20:20, and was called of God, like David from the flocks, and Elisha from the plow, to be a prophet of the Lord. This is Jehovah’s right, a right he never surrendered, either to the synagogue or the vatican at Rome. Two years before the... read more

Amo 1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
