Amos5:27
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus , saith the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
For all your Idolatry and other sins in which you have obstinately continued,
you shall certainly be subdued and captivated, and this shall be done, so that my hand shall appear evidently in it.
Into Assyria, and into parts beyond Damascus, but 'tis not certain into what corners of the World they were sent; but probably to those parts that lay about the Caspian Sea; more remote from their own Country, then ever to hope they may get back again: Or thus, you shall be carried into a Captivity more grievous, by Salmaneser, then was the captivity of those whom Tiglath Pil[illegible: 1 letter]eser led captive when he slew Resin, took Damascus, and wasted Israel in the dayes of Peka[illegible: 1 letter], when some Israelites were carried Captives, but this shall be a more grievous Captivity.
