Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 1:12

12 But I will send a fire upon Teman , which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

Vid. verse 4. let. h. i. and ver. 7. let. f.

Metropolis of Idumea, called from Esau's Grandson of that name; of this see Ezek. 25.13. and Hab. 3.3. And this here taken Synecdochically implyeth the Inhabitants of this City, and of the whole Country which shall perish, when the Judgment here threatned shall be executed.

Vid. verse 4. let. m.

A City bordering on M[illegible: 1 letter]ab and Idumaea, and which sometime belonged to the one▪ sometime to the other, as events of war determined. It may be there might be two Cities of this name, the one in Moab, the other in Edom, or Idumaea; however this was a very strong City, and one of the chiefest in the whole Kingdom, so that in the menace against Bozrah and Teman the strength and glory of Edom is threatned with an utter overthrow, as of that which is burnt up by fire.
