Amo 1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

earthquake
Amo 1:2 And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
roar
"Roar," etc. Cf. Isa 42:13; Jer 25:30-33; Hos 11:10, 11; Joe 3:16. It will be found that wherever the phrase occurs it is connected with the destruction of Gentile dominion (see "Times of the Gentiles," Scofield Luk 21:24; Revelation 16:19, note), and the blessing of Israel in the kingdom. Without a doubt a near fulfilment upon Syria occurred (2Ki 14:28), but the expression, "the Lord will roar," looks forward to a vaster fulfilment. See Scofield Joel 1:4, note.
Amo 1:3 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Damascus
Amo 1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
I will send a fire
Benhadad
Amo 1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.
I will break also the bar of Damascus
