Amaziah (Book of Amos)

Amaziah was an idolatrous priest of Bethel (Amos 7:10–17), who lived during the reign of Jeroboam II of the Kingdom of Samaria. Amaziah banned Amos from prophesying against Israel. Francis Gigot considers it "probable" that Amos left Bethel in compliance with Amaziah's directives, and "withdrew to Juda[h]".
