Amos 6:9 - Exposition

If there remain ten men in one house. If these escape death in war, they shall die of famine and pestilence in the three years' siege of Samaria ( 2 Kings 17:5 ). If the prophet is still referring to the rich chieftains, ten would be only a poor remnant of the inhabitants of their palaces. The LXX . adds, very unnecesarily, καὶ ὑπολειφθήσονται οἱ κατάλοιποι , "And those remaining shall be left behind."
