Amos 1:12 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

But I will send a fire, &c.— Teman and Bozrah were two principal cities of Idumea. This expression imports their intire conquest and destruction. The ancient country of the Edomites was afterwards called Arabia Petraea; whence they were expelled by the Nabatheans, and never could recover it; but were forced to settle themselves in the southern parts of Judaea.
