Charles Ellicott Commentary Amos 1:4

"but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad." — Amos 1:4 (ASV)

I will send a fire ...—Compare Jeremiah 49:27, where this language is repeated at a time when punishment had fallen for a while on Damascus, and she had become, as Isaiah predicted, a ruinous heap (Isaiah 17:1).
