Amos 9:1
1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar and he said, “Strike the tops of the support pillars, so the thresholds shake! Knock them down on the heads of all the people, and I will kill the survivors with the sword. No one will be able to run away; no one will be able to escape. 2 Even if they could dig down into the netherworld, my hand would pull them up from there. Even if they could climb up to heaven, I would drag them down from there. 3 Even if they were to hide on the top of Mount Carmel, I would hunt them down and take them from there. Even if they tried to hide from me at the bottom of the sea, from there I would command the Sea Serpent to bite them.
Jonathan Amos 9:1
1 The prophet said, “I saw the glory of the Lord; it ascended by the cherub and rested on the altar, and he said, ‘If my people Israel will not return to the law, extinguish the lamp; king Josiah shall be slain, the temple shall be laid waste, and the temple courts shall be destroyed; and the vessels of the Sanctuary shall be taken into captivity. The last of them I will kill with the sword; not one of them shall escape, and not one of them shall survive. 2 If they should think to hide as though in Sheol, from there they shall be taken by my Memra; and if they climb high buildings to heaven, from there they shall be brought down by my Memra. 3 If they should think to hide on top of city towers, there I will command searchers, and they will search them out; and if they hide from my Memra among the islands of the sea, there I will command nations who are strong like the serpent to slay them.
Notes and References
"... That there was special mourning for Josiah following his untimely death is noted in 2 Chron. 35:24-25 and is a point taken up in Josephus and in the Babylonian Talmud. (Compare Josephus Antiquities 10:78, b. Moed Qatan 25b; Seder 'Olam 24 ... for references to Josiah's death see Targum Amos 9:1; Targum Lamentations 4:20; Leviticus Rabbah 33:3) The idea that there was special lamentation for Ahab, on the other hand, has no basis in Old Testament tradition, though the Talmudic report that thirty-six thousand soldiers marched at his funeral (b. Bava Kamma 17a) is perhaps headed in that direction ..."
