TSK · Amos 3:11

Pul king of Assyria invaded the land, and Menahem paid him a thousand talents of silver to gain his support and to solidify his control of the kingdom.

King Shalmaneser of Assyria marched up to attack him; so Hoshea became his subject and paid him tribute.

They burned down the God’s temple and tore down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned all its fortified buildings and destroyed all its valuable items.

The LORD will bring on you, your people, and your father’s family a time unlike any since Ephraim departed from Judah– the king of Assyria!”

The Lord Turns on Arrogant Assyria Beware, Assyria, the club I use to vent my anger, a cudgel with which I angrily punish.

They will return to Egypt! Assyria will rule over them because they refuse to repent!

“They do not know how to do what is right.”(The LORD is speaking.)“They store up the spoils of destructive violence in their fortresses.

The Sovereign LORD confirms this oath by his very own life. The LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, is speaking:“I despise Jacob’s arrogance; I hate their fortresses. I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it.”
