Amos 9:11 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

To him to whom all the prophets bear witness this prophet, here in the close, bears his testimony, and speaks of that day, those days that shall come, in which God will do great things for his church, by the setting up of the kingdom of the Messiah, for the rejecting of which the rejection of the Jews was foretold in the Amos 9:1-10. The promise here is said to agree to the planting of the Christian church, and in that to be fulfilled, Acts 15:15-17. It is promised, I. That in the Messiah the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Amos 9:11

In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen ,.... Not in the day of Israel's ruin, but in the famous Gospel day, so often spoken of by the prophets; and this prophecy is referred to the times of the Messiah by the ancient F17 Zohar in Exod. fol. 96. 2. Jews; and one of the names they give him is taken from hence, "Barnaphli" F18 T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 96. 2. , the Son of the fallen. R. Nachman said to R. Isaac, hast thou heard when Barnaphli comes? to whom... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:11

Will I raise up the tabernacle of David - It is well known that the kingdom of Israel, the most profane and idolatrous, fell first, and that the kingdom of Judah continued long after, and enjoyed considerable prosperity under Hezekiah and Josiah. The remnant of the Israelites that were left by the Assyrians became united to the kingdom of Judah; and of the others, many afterwards joined them: but this comparatively short prosperity and respite, previously to the Babylonish captivity, could... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Amos 9:11

Verse 11 Here now the Prophet begins to set forth the consolation, which alone could support the minds of the godly under afflictions so severe. Threatening alone might have cast the strongest into despair; but the event itself must have overwhelmed whatever hope there might have been. Hence the Prophet now applies comfort by saying, that God would punish the sins of the people of Israel in such a way as to remember still his own promise. We know, that whenever the Prophets designed to give... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:11

In that day. When the judgment has fallen. The passage is quoted by St. James ( Acts 15:16 , Acts 15:27 ), mostly from the Greek, in confirmation of the doctrine that the Church of God is open to all, whether Jew or Gentile. The tabernacle ( sukkah ): hut, or tent (as Jonah 4:5 ); no palace now, but fallen to low esthete, a "little house" ( Amos 6:11 ). The prophet refers probably to the fall of the kingdom of David in the ruin wrought by the Chaldeans. Interpreted... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:11

The reconstruction of the tabernacle of David. The reference is probably not to that tabernacle which was replaced and superseded by the temple of Solomon, but to the house of David. The booth or hut may well serve as an emblem of the depressed state of the Jewish monarchy and people, not simply as they were in the time of Amos, but as the prophet foretold that they should be in days about to come. The language is very expressive, and depicts a restoration very complete. Breaches shall be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:11-12

The rebuilding of the waste places. "God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew," as the cumulative series of woes announced might seem to indicate. As a people they conspire, rebel, and cast him off, and as a people they are scattered, decimated, and disowned. In their corporate character they cannot longer survive, But there were individuals among them who had either remained loyal or come back to their allegiance, and these stood in a different position. Not only would they be... read more

Part IV . EPILOGUE . THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEW KINGDOM AND THE REIGN OF MESSIAH . THE KINGDOM SHALL EMBRACE ALL NATIONS ( Amos 9:11 , Amos 9:12 ), SHALL BE ENRICHED WITH SUPERABUNDANT SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS ( Amos 9:13 , Amos 9:14 ), AND SHALL ENDURE FOREVER ( Amos 9:15 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Amos 9:11-15

The restoration of the true moral theocracy. "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old," etc. In the previous verses we have had to notice the destruction of the sinful kingdom; in this paragraph we have the establishment of the true kingdom—the true moral theocracy. "In that day," i.e. when the judgment has fallen upon the sinful kingdom, and all the... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Amos 9:11

In that day I will raise up - Amos, as the prophets were taught to do, sums up his prophecy of woe with this one full promise of overflowing good. For the ten tribes, in their separate condition, there was no hope, no future. He had pronounced the entire destruction of “the kingdom” of Israel. The ten tribes were, thenceforth, only an aggregate of individuals, good or bad. They had no separate corporate existence. In their spiritual existence, they still belonged to the one family of Israel;... read more
