Read Amos 3.9-12. In 3.9-12: Judgment on Samaria. Amos invites representatives from Ashdod, a Philistine city (1.8), and from Egypt to observe the oppressions of the poor on Mount Samaria, the capital of Israel. This indictment (vv. 9-10) is followed by God's sentence: Samaria's strongholds shall be plundered by an invading army (v.11). The metaphor of the plundering lion in v. 12 emphasizes how little will remains in Samaria after the enemy strikes. Comments or Questions..
