NETBible

I will destroy both the winter and summer houses.¹ The houses filled with ivory² will be ruined, the great³ houses will be swept away.”⁴ The Lord is speaking!

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the winter house along with the summer house.”

¹sn Like kings, many in Israel’s wealthy class owned both winter and summer houses (cf. 1 Kgs 21:1,18; Jer 36:22). For a discussion of archaeological evidence relating to these structures, see P. King, Amos, Hosea, Micah, 64-65.

²tn Heb “houses of ivory.” These houses were not made of ivory, but they had ivory panels and furniture decorated with ivory inlays. See P. King, Amos, Hosea, Micah, 139-48.

³tn Or “many,” cf. NAB “their many rooms.”

⁴tn The translation assumes the form is from the Hebrew verb סָפָה (safah, “to sweep away”) rather than סוּף (suf, “to come to an end”), which is the choice of most versions. Either option effectively communicates the destruction of the structures.
