COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

13. prophesy not again — ( :- ). at Beth-el —Amaziah wants to be let alone at least in his own residence. the king's chapel —Beth-el was preferred by the king to Dan, the other seat of the calf-worship, as being nearer Samaria, the capital, and as hallowed by Jacob of old ( Genesis 28:16 ; Genesis 28:19 ; Genesis 35:6 ; Genesis 35:7 ). He argues by implication against Amos' presumption, as a private man, in speaking against the worship sanctioned by the king, and that in the very place consecrated to it for the king's own devotions. king's court —that is, residence: the seat of empire, where the king holds his court, and which thou oughtest to have reverenced. Samaria was the usual king's residence: but for the convenience of attending the calf-worship, a royal palace was at Beth-el also. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
