Dear Clay,

Hi, I'm back with a history question.

What do the historians on b-hebrew have to say about about the earth
quake in Amos 1:1? Does Zechariah 14:5 make reference to the same event?

HH: Yes, it was the same earthquake. On the basis of archeological findings it is dated to 760 B.C. (Yadin et al., Hazor II, 24-26, 36-37, as cited in Jeffrey Niehaus, Amos [T. E. McComiskey, ed. The Minor Prophets {Grand Rapids: Baker, 1992}] 336).

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
