Amos 2:3

"And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.

"The judge ..." This does not mean that Moab was without a king at the time of this prophecy. "It implies the chief magistrate, like the Carthaginian "sufes", which is the same word."[11] The prophecies of doom for the surrounding nations, "Were fulfilled by the Chaldeans, who conquered all these kingdoms, and carried the people themselves into captivity."[12]
