Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 8:14

_ _ swear by the sin of Samaria — namely, the calves (Deuteronomy 9:21; Hosea 4:15). “Swear by” means to worship (Psalms 63:11).

_ _ The manner — that is, as “the way” is used (Psalms 139:24; Acts 9:2), the mode of worship.

_ _ Thy god, O Dan — the other golden calf at Dan (1 Kings 22:26-30).

_ _ liveth ... liveth — rather, “May thy god ... live ... may the manner ... live.” Or, “As (surely as) thy god, O Dan, liveth.” This is their formula when they swear; not “May Jehovah live!” or, “As Jehovah liveth!”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 8:11-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 8:14

They — Who sacrifice to and swear by the calves at Dan and Beth — el. By the sin — Who say the idol at Dan is the true and living God. The manner — The idol which is worshipped at Beersheba.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Amos 8:14

They that swear by the sin (i) of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, (k) The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

(i) For the idolaters used to swear by their idols, which here he calls their sin: and the papists yet swear by theirs.

(k) That is, the common manner of worshipping, and the service or religion used there.
