Amos 1:6
_ _ Gaza — the southernmost of the five capitals of the five divisions of Philistia, and the key to Palestine on the south: hence put for the whole Philistine nation. Uzziah commenced the fulfillment of this prophecy (see 2 Chronicles 26:6).
_ _ because they carried away ... the whole captivity — that is, they left none. Compare with the phrase here, Jeremiah 13:19, “Judah ... carried captive all of it ... wholly carried away.” Under Jehoram already the Philistines had carried away all the substance of the king of Judah, and his wives and his sons, “so that there was never a son left to him, save Jehoahaz”; and after Amos’ time (if the reference includes the future, which to the prophet’s eye is as if already done), under Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:18), they seized on all the cities and villages of the low country and south of Judah.
_ _ to deliver them up to Edom — Judah’s bitterest foe; as slaves (Amos 1:9; compare Joel 3:1, Joel 3:3, Joel 3:6). Grotius refers it to the fact (Isaiah 16:4) that on Sennacherib’s invasion of Judah, many fled for refuge to neighboring countries; the Philistines, instead of hospitably sheltering the refugees, sold them, as if captives in war, to their enemies, the Idumeans. |
Amos 1:6
Carried away — All the Jews whom they had taken captive. Edom — Their most inveterate enemies. These Edomites were ever ready to enslave, and tyrannize over the Jews, if by any means they could get them into their hands. |
Amos 1:6
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they (i) carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom:
(i) They united themselves with the Edomites their enemies, who carried them away captive. |
- three:
Amos 1:3 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Amos 1:9 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
Amos 1:11 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
