Commentary on Amos 7:11

Theological / Devotional

Die by the sword. It may be that Amaziah here misconstrued, somewhat, the prophetic message of Amos. The prophet had foretold a sword against the “house of Jeroboam” (v. 9), which would not necessarily mean that the monarch himself would perish by the sword. However, rightly understood, this punishment was indeed that which must come upon king and nation if they remained impenitent (see PK 286).
