Amos 9:11

In that day—quoted by James (Acts 15:16-17), "After this," that is, in the dispensation of Messiah (Genesis 49:10; Hosea 3:4-5; Joel 2:28; Joel 3:1).

tabernacle of David—not "the house of David," which is used of his affairs when prospering (II Samuel 3:1), but the tent or booth, expressing the low condition to which his kingdom and family had fallen in Amos' time, and subsequently at the Babylonian captivity before the restoration; and secondarily, in the last days preceding Israel's restoration under Messiah, the antitype to David (Psalms 102:13-14; Jeremiah 30:9; Ezekiel 34:24; Ezekiel 37:24; see on Isaiah 12:1). The type is taken from architecture (Ephesians 2:20). The restoration under Zerubbabel can only be a partial, temporary fulfilment; for it did not include Israel, which nation is the main subject of Amos prophecies, but only Judah; also Zerubbabel's kingdom was not independent and settled; also all the prophets end their prophecies with Messiah, whose advent is the cure of all previous disorders. "Tabernacle" is appropriate to Him, as His human nature is the tabernacle which He assumed in becoming Immanuel, "God with us" (John 1:14). "Dwelt," literally, tabernacled "among us" (compare Revelation 21:3). Some understand "the tabernacle of David" as that which David pitched for the ark in Zion, after bringing it from Obed-edom's house. It remained there all his reign for thirty years, till the temple of Solomon was built, whereas the "tabernacle of the congregation" remained at Gibeon (II Chronicles 1:3), where the priests ministered in sacrifices (I Chronicles 16:39). Song and praise was the service of David's attendants before the ark (Asaph, etc.): a type of the gospel separation between the sacrificial service (Messiah's priesthood now in heaven) and the access of believers on earth to the presence of God, apart from the former (compare II Samuel 6:12-17; I Chronicles 16:37-39; II Chronicles 1:3).

breaches thereof—literally, "of them," that is, of the whole nation, Israel as well as Judah.

as in . . . days of old—as it was formerly in the days of David and Solomon, when the kingdom was in its full extent and undivided.
