Amaziah » An idolatrous priest at bethel
Upon this sent Amaziah the priest to Bethel unto Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, "Amos maketh the house of Israel to rebel against thee; the land cannot away with his words. For Amos sayeth, 'Jeroboam shall die with the sword, and Israel shall be led away, captive out of their own land.'" And Amaziah said unto Amos, "Get thee hence, thou that canst see so well, and flee into the land of Judah. Get thee there thy living, and prophesy there: read more.
and prophesy no more at Bethel, for it is the king's chapel, and the king's court. Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, "As for me I am neither prophet, nor prophet's son: but a keeper of cattle. Now as I was breaking down mulberries, and going after the cattle, the LORD took me, and said unto me, 'Go thy way, and prophesy unto my people of Israel.' And therefore, bear thou now the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, 'Prophesy not against Israel, and speak nothing against the house of Isaac.' Wherefore thus sayeth the LORD, 'Thy wife shall be defiled in the city, thy sons and daughters shall be slain with the sword, and thy land shall be measured out with the line. Thou thyself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall be driven out of his own country."
