Amos 7:11

Listen to Amos 7:11
11 Perciocchè, così ha detto Amos: Geroboamo morrà per la spada, e Israele sarà del tutto menato in cattività d’in su la sua terra.

Amos 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 7:11

For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword
Which was not saying truth; for Amos said not that Jeroboam should die by the sword, but that God would raise up the sword against his house or family; nor did Jeroboam die by the sword, but his son Zachariah did: and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land;
this was true; Amos did say this, and he afterwards confirms it. This is the amount of the charge brought against the prophet, which has some truth and some falsehood mixed together; and by which method the priest hoped to gain his point, and get the prophet either banished or put to death.

Amos 7:11 In-Context

9 E gli alti luoghi d’Isacco saranno distrutti, e i santuarii d’Israele saranno deserti; ed io mi leverò con la spada contro alla casa di Geroboamo.
10 ALLORA Amasia, sacerdote di Betel, mandò a dire a Geroboamo, re d’Israele: Amos ha fatta congiura contro a te, in mezzo della casa d’Israele; il paese non potrà portare tutte le sue parole.
11 Perciocchè, così ha detto Amos: Geroboamo morrà per la spada, e Israele sarà del tutto menato in cattività d’in su la sua terra.
12 Poi Amasia disse ad Amos: Veggente, va’, fuggitene nel paese di Giuda; e quivi mangia del pane, e quivi profetizza.
13 E non profetizzar più in Betel; perciocchè è il santuario del re, ed una stanza reale.
