In the context of Amos, this prophecy is directed towards the Ammonites, a neighboring nation of Israel. Historically, the Ammonites were often in conflict with Israel, and their king's exile signifies a complete overthrow of their political structure. The exile of a king was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern warfare, symbolizing the total defeat and humiliation of a nation. This prophecy aligns with the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to raise and depose leaders according to His will, as seen in <a href="/daniel/2-21.htm">Daniel 2:21</a>.<p><b>he and his princes together,</b><br>The mention of "princes" alongside the king emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the judgment. It is not only the king who will face exile but also the ruling class, indicating a total dismantling of the existing power structure. This reflects the biblical principle that leadership is accountable to God and that the sins of a nation often reflect the failures of its leaders. The collective exile of the king and his princes suggests a complete removal of the current regime, similar to the fate of other nations judged by God, such as Babylon in <a href="/isaiah/47.htm">Isaiah 47:1-5</a>.<p><b>says the LORD.</b><br>This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the prophecy. It is not merely a prediction but a declaration from the LORD, the covenant name of God, indicating His personal involvement and assurance that the prophecy will be fulfilled. The use of "says the LORD" is a common prophetic formula that authenticates the message as divinely inspired. It serves as a reminder of God's ultimate control over history and His ability to execute judgment according to His righteous standards, as seen throughout the prophetic books of the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/amos.htm">Amos</a></b><br>A prophet from Tekoa, a small town in Judah, who was called by God to deliver messages of judgment to Israel and surrounding nations.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_king.htm">The King</a></b><br>Refers to the ruler of the nation being judged, likely the king of Ammon in this context, as <a href="/amos/1-13.htm">Amos 1:13-15</a> addresses the transgressions of Ammon.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/princes.htm">Princes</a></b><br>The officials or leaders under the king who will also face exile.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/a/ammon.htm">Ammon</a></b><br>A nation east of Israel, often in conflict with Israel, known for its cruelty and aggression.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/e/exile.htm">Exile</a></b><br>The forced removal from one's homeland, a common consequence of divine judgment in the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_nations.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Nations</a></b><br>God holds all nations accountable for their actions, and no king or ruler is beyond His reach.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_sin.htm">The Consequences of Sin</a></b><br>Persistent sin and rebellion against God lead to judgment and consequences, as seen in the exile of the king and princes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_certainty_of_god's_word.htm">The Certainty of God's Word</a></b><br>When God declares judgment, it is certain to come to pass, underscoring the reliability of His word.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/leadership_and_responsibility.htm">Leadership and Responsibility</a></b><br>Leaders bear significant responsibility for their actions and the actions of their people, as seen in the judgment on the king and princes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/hope_in_repentance.htm">Hope in Repentance</a></b><br>While judgment is pronounced, the broader biblical account offers hope for those who turn back to God in repentance.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_amos_1.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Amos 1</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_vaping_considered_sinful.htm">Who were Josiah's sons?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what's_the_tabernacle_of_david.htm">What does the tabernacle of David refer to?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_jer._3_12-14_show_limitless_mercy.htm">How does Jeremiah 3:12-14 depict limitless mercy when texts like 2 Kings 17:6-23 suggest God's patience eventually ran out?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_david_called_upright_despite_sins.htm">How can 1 Kings 15:5 declare David upright aside from Uriah's case when there are other recorded sins in Scripture?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/amos/1.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(15) <span class= "bld">Their king</span>.--Not as Syrian and Vulg. read the original, <span class= "ital">Malcam</span> or <span class= "ital">Milcom, i.e.,</span> Moloch. E.V. is supported by LXX., Targ., and context of the passage. So far we find the prophet denouncing the sin which trifles with blood, covenants, and ancient agreements, and recognising the responsibilities of race; but closer inspection shows in this, and in Amos 2, that the prophet condemns all violations of those natural laws and rights of which he regards Jehovah as custodian and executor.<p><span class= "bld"><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/amos/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 15.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Their king;</span> Septuagint, <span class="greek">οἱ</span> <span class="greek">βασιλεῖς αὐτῆς</span>. So Keil, Trochon, and others consider that the King of the Ammonites is meant. The Vulgate, with Aquila, Symmachus, the Syriac, and Jerome, retrains the word Melchous, or Melcham, which is the same as Molech, their god. This interpretation is favoured by passages in Jeremiah, of which one is evidently quoted from Amos, "For Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together" (<a href="/jeremiah/49-3.htm">Jeremiah 49:3</a>); and the other (<a href="/jeremiah/48-7.htm">Jeremiah 48:7</a>) is similar, with the substitution of "Chemosh," the god of Moab, for "Maleam." That the localized deity should share the fortunes of his worshippers is quite in accordance with the ideas of the time (comp. <a href="/isaiah/46-1.htm">Isaiah 46:1, 2</a>). Probably Amos meant to include both notions - their "Malcam," whether king or god. should be carried into captivity, accompanied by the princes, all the chiefs, military and sacerdotal, so that no one should he left to head a future revolt. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/amos/1-15.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Their king</span><br /><span class="heb">מַלְכָּ֖ם</span> <span class="translit">(mal·kām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will go</span><br /><span class="heb">וְהָלַ֥ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·hā·laḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1980.htm">Strong's 1980: </a> </span><span class="str2">To go, come, walk</span><br /><br /><span class="word">into exile—</span><br /><span class="heb">בַּגּוֹלָ֑ה</span> <span class="translit">(bag·gō·w·lāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1473.htm">Strong's 1473: </a> </span><span class="str2">Exile, exiles</span><br /><br /><span class="word">he</span><br /><span class="heb">ה֧וּא</span> <span class="translit">(hū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> </span><span class="str2">He, self, the same, this, that, as, are</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and his princes</span><br /><span class="heb">וְשָׂרָ֛יו</span> <span class="translit">(wə·śā·rāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8269.htm">Strong's 8269: </a> </span><span class="str2">Chieftain, chief, ruler, official, captain, prince</span><br /><br /><span class="word">together,”</span><br /><span class="heb">יַחְדָּ֖ו</span> <span class="translit">(yaḥ·dāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3162.htm">Strong's 3162: </a> </span><span class="str2">A unit, unitedly</span><br /><br /><span class="word">says</span><br /><span class="heb">אָמַ֥ר</span> <span class="translit">(’ā·mar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> </span><span class="str2">To utter, say</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the LORD.</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוָֽה׃</span> <span class="translit">(Yah·weh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> </span><span class="str2">LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/amos/1-15.htm">Amos 1:15 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/amos/1-15.htm">OT Prophets: Amos 1:15 And their king will go into captivity (Amo.
