AMOS—NOTE ON Amos 9:11 In contrast to the mighty temple of Israel that God would smash to the ground (v. Amos 9:1), the fragile booth of David (v. Amos 9:11) would be repaired. The reminder that Israel’s well-being depends on the descendants of David would come with special force to Amos’s northern audience, who had rejected the Davidic king. God has committed himself to bless his people, and eventually the world, through the family of David (2 Samuel 7:15; Psalms 72:17).
