Amos 7:15
_ _ took me as I followed the flock — So David was taken (2 Samuel 7:8; Psalms 78:70, Psalms 78:71). Messiah is the antitypical Shepherd (Psalms 23:1-6; John 10:1-18).
_ _ unto my people — “against” [Maurer]; so Amos 7:16. Jehovah claims them still as His by right, though slighting His authority. God would recover them to His service by the prophet’s ministry. |
- took:
2 Samuel 7:8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
Psalms 78:70-72 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: ... So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Matthew 4:18-19 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. ... And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 9:9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

- as I followed:
