Amos 1:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I will send a fire; see Amos 1:4; desolating judgments, expressed here by fire. On the wall; which was strong, and a mighty defence to the city; this only mentioned, but all the power and strength of Gaza, and of whole Palestina, is here included, and the judgment denounced is here intended against all the munitions of that people: Gaza: see Amos 1:6. Devour: see Amos 1:4. The palaces thereof: see Amos 1:4. What is here foretold was fulfilled partly by Uzziah, 2 Chronicles 26:6-8, and partly by Hezekiah, 2 Kings 18:8, and partly by Sennacherib, Isaiah 20:1.
