Amos 6:14
Compare all
12 Do horses run on rocks?
Does one plow there with oxen?
Yet ayou have turned justice into gall,
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood, 
13 You who rejoice over1 Lo Debar,
Who say, “Have we not taken1 Karnaim for ourselves
By our own strength?” 
14 “But, behold, aI will raise up a nation against you,
O house of Israel,”
Says the Lord God of hosts;
“And they will afflict you from the bentrance of Hamath
To the Valley of the Arabah.”

Amos 6:14

I will raise up against you a nation - The Assyrians under Pul, Tiglath-pileser, and Shalmaneser, who subdued the Israelites at various times, and at last carried them away captive in the days of Hosea, the last king of Israel in Samaria.

From the entering in of Hamath (on the north) unto the river of the wilderness - Besor, which empties itself into the sea, not far from Gaza, and was in the southern part of the tribe of Simeon.
