Verse 11

In "that day" Yahweh would also restore the fallen booth of David that had suffered some destruction (cf. Amos 9:1; Leviticus 23:33-42; 2 Samuel 11:11; 1 Kings 20:12-16; Jonah 4:5). The booth (tent) of David is a reference to the dynasty of David, which acted as a shelter over the Israelites. When Amos prophesied, the tent of David had suffered major damage due to the division of the kingdom into two parts, though it had not yet collapsed completely. In the future God would restore the Davidic house and rebuild it as in former days, when it was a united kingdom with a descendant of David ruling over all Israel (cf. Jeremiah 30:3-10; Ezekiel 37:15-28; Hosea 3:4-5). That day, still future from our point in history, would be a day of restoration as well as a day of judgment. The restoration will follow in the Millennium after the judgments of the Tribulation.
