Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 7:11

11 For thus Amos saith , Jeroboam shall die by the sword , and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land .

So Amaziah falsely reports the Prophet.

He no where said so, nor did he insinuate so much, but spake of his house distinguish'd from his Person, as ver. 9.

This indeed he foretold, but did no more contribute to it, or contrive it, than the Physician doth who foretels the death of an uncounsellable Patient, sick of a mortal Disease.

This is added to signifie the greatness of the Captivity.
