Commentary on Amos 7:1

Theological / Devotional

Grasshoppers. Rather, “locusts.”

In the beginning. Most likely at the time when the second mowing or crop of the same field was beginning to grow. The ravages of the locusts at this season would be most damaging.

The king’s mowings. It has been deduced from this statement that the first crop on certain lands must have been taken by the king for his use.
