1:8 I will remove 1 the ruler 2 from Ashdod, 3
the one who holds the royal scepter from Ashkelon. 4
I will strike Ekron 5 with my hand; 6
the rest of the Philistines will also die.” 7
The sovereign Lord has spoken!
1:1 The following is a record of what Amos prophesied. 8 He 9 was one of the herdsmen from Tekoa. These prophecies about Israel were revealed to him 10 during the time of 11 King Uzziah of Judah and 12 King Jeroboam son of Joash of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 13
5:1 Now the Philistines had captured the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.
