Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Amos 4:6-11.


Amos 4:10

_ _ pestilence after the manner of Egypt — such as I formerly sent on the Egyptians (Exodus 9:3, Exodus 9:8, etc.; Exodus 12:29; Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:60). Compare the same phrase, Isaiah 10:24.

_ _ have taken away your horses — literally, “accompanied with the captivity of your horses”; I have given up your young men to be slain, and their horses to be taken by the foe (compare 2 Kings 13:7).

_ _ stink of your camps — that is, of your slain men (compare Isaiah 34:3; Joel 2:20).

_ _ to come up unto your nostrils — The Hebrew is more emphatic, “to come up, and that unto your nostrils.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 4:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 4:10

Your horses — The riders being killed. The stink — So great slaughter hath been made in your camp that there were not sufficient to bury the slain.
