Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 1:4

_ _ Hazael ... Ben-hadad — A black marble obelisk found in the central palace of Nimroud, and now in the British Museum, is inscribed with the names of Hazael and Ben-hadad of Syria, as well as Jehu of Israel, mentioned as tributaries of “Shalmanubar,” king of Assyria. The kind of tribute from Jehu is mentioned: gold, pearls, precious oil, etc. [G. V. Smith]. The Ben-hadad here is the son of Hazael (2 Kings 13:3), not the Ben-hadad supplanted and slain by Hazael (2 Kings 8:7, 2 Kings 8:15). The phrase, “I will send a fire,” that is, the flame of war (Psalms 78:63), occurs also in Amos 1:7, Amos 1:10, Amos 1:12, Amos 1:14, and Amos 2:2, Amos 2:5; Jeremiah 49:27; Hosea 8:14.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 1:3-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 1:4

Ben — hadad — Ben — hadad was to the Syrian kings a common name, as Pharaoh to the Egyptian kings, and Caesar to the Roman emperors.

Amos 1:4

But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the (g) palaces of Benhadad.
