John Gill Commentary Amos 7:11

"For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land." — Amos 7:11 (ASV)

For thus Amos says, Jeroboam shall die by the sword Which was not saying truth; for Amos said not that Jeroboam should die by the sword, but that God would raise up the sword against his house or family; nor did Jeroboam die by the sword, but his son Zachariah did: and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land ; this was true; Amos did say this, and he afterwards confirms it. This is the amount of the charge brought against the prophet, which has some truth and some falsehood mixed together; and by which method the priest hoped to gain his point, and get the prophet either banished or put to death.
