Amos 6:13

6:13 You are happy because you conquered Lo-Debar.

You say, “Did we not conquer Karnaim by our own power?”


tn Heb “those who rejoice over Lo-Debar.”

sn Karnaim was also located across the Jordan River. The name in Hebrew means “double horned.” Since an animal’s horn was a symbol of strength (see Deut 33:17), the Israelites boasted in this victory over a town whose very name symbolized military power.
