Read Amos 1.1-2. In 1,1-2: Introduction. Prophetic books customarily begin with data about their authors. In verse 1: Amos preached during the reigns King Uzziah of Judah (783-742 BCE) and King Jeroboam of Israel (786-746 BCE), and he owned sheep and orchards (7.14). Though from Tekoa, a town in Judah, Amos preached primarily to Judah's northern neighbor, Israel (2.6). In verse 2: Jerusalem and Zion are both names of the capital city of Judah. Carmel is a mountain range near the Mediterranean coast in Israel. Comments or Questions..
