Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 6:7

_ _ Therefore ... shall they go captive with the first — As they were first among the people in rank (Amos 6:1), and anointed themselves “with the chief ointments” (Amos 6:6), so shall they be among the foremost in going into captivity.

_ _ banquet — literally, the “merry-making shout of revelers”; from an Arabic root, “to cry out.” In the Hebrew, marzeach; here, there is an allusion to mizraqu, “bowls” (Amos 6:6).

_ _ them that stretched themselves — on luxurious couches (Amos 6:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 6:1-7.
