Commentary on Amos 6:9

Theological / Devotional

Ten. Perhaps a reference to the “ten” of ch. 5:3, the remnant of the wars fought in the last stages of Israel’s history. It should be kept in mind that Israel did not lose her prosperity in one single disaster, but rather that the disintegration of the nation came in gradual stages (see 2 Kings 15:19,20,29 ; 17:5-18).

They shall die. Should these “ten” be saved from death in war, they would die of famine and pestilence in the siege of Samaria (see 2 Kings 17:5).
