Amos
Amos A
prophet, but no professional in that role (Amos 7: 14). From
Judah in the south, he denounced evils in Israel, the northern kingdom, during the reign of
Jeroboam II (
c.786–746 BCE). Coming from the countryside near
Bethlehem, Amos was appalled by the urban luxury he encountered (Amos 3: 15), and foresaw military catastrophe (Amos 6: 14) as the instrument of God's judgement. Earlier prophets (
Elijah,
Elisha) have their messages recorded in the historical books. Amos is the first prophet whose words are in his own book. His message of doom, rejected by the royal house (7: 10–17), is therefore reaffirmed in writing with a good deal of literary skill. The invasions under
Tiglath-Pileser III began in 734 BCE, not long after Amos has given his warning.
