Amos 7:9

7:9 Isaac’s centers of worship ¹  will become desolate;

Israel’s holy places will be in ruins.

I will attack Jeroboam’s dynasty with the sword.” ² 

Lukas 23:30

23:30 Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ³  ‘Fall on us!’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us!’ ⁴ 

Lukas 6:16

6:16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, ⁵  who became a traitor.

[7:9]  ¹ tn Traditionally, “the high places” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); NLT “pagan shrines.”

[7:9]  ² tn Heb “And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.”

[23:30]  ³ sn The figure of crying out to the mountains ‘Fall on us!’ (appealing to creation itself to hide them from God’s wrath), means that a time will come when people will feel they are better off dead (Hos 10:8).

[23:30]  ⁴ sn An allusion to Hos 10:8 (cf. Rev 6:16).

[6:16]  ⁵ sn There is some debate about what the name Iscariot means. It probably alludes to a region in Judea and thus might make Judas the only non-Galilean in the group. Several explanations for the name Iscariot have been proposed, but it is probably transliterated Hebrew with the meaning “man of Kerioth” (there are at least two villages that had that name). For further discussion see D. L. Bock, Luke (BECNT), 1:546; also D. A. Carson, John, 304.
