Amos 1:14

Amos 1:14

12 But ^aI will send a fire upon Teman,
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”

13 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^athe people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.

14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^aRabbah,
And it shall devour its palaces,
^bAmid shouting in the day of battle,
And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

15 ^aTheir king shall go into captivity,
He and his princes together,”
Says the Lord.

Rabbah—the capital of Ammon: meaning "the Great." Distinct from Rabbah of Moab. Called Philadelphia, afterwards, from Ptolemy Philadelphus.

tempest—that is, with an onset swift, sudden, and resistless as a hurricane.

day of the whirlwind—parallel to "the day of battle"; therefore meaning "the day of the foe's tumultuous assault."
