Amos 1:15
And jtheir king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
j:
1 Samuel 12:25 But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
Job 21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
Jeremiah 49:3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
or Milchore, or Moloch, the idol of the Ammonites, so it signifieth, as well as king. I suppose the prophet may intend both, their god as well as their king shall be carried captive, as was customary with conquerors, 1Sa 5:2 Isa 46:2.
this repeats and confirms the threat, whether it refer to the idol or the king.
either nobles and ministers of state, who attend and serve the king, or the priests and ministers of the idol; here both may be included, and the utter overthrow of their affairs in religion and state be signified and foretold.
this, as elsewhere, doth ratify and insure all; it shall so be, for God hath spoken it.
