Amos 9:11 → 2 Samuel 7:27

Amos 9:11 promises to "restore the fallen tent of David," recalling 2 Samuel 7:27 where David prays in response to God's promise: "You, O LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have revealed this to Your servant when You said, 'I will build a house (בַּיִת, bayith) for you.'" The connection links Amos's restoration oracle to David's prayer of faith, suggesting that the divine promise David believed would be honored even after centuries of dynastic decline. Amos's language of rebuilding "as in the days of old" (כִּימֵי עוֹלָם, kimey olam) points back to the golden era when the Davidic house was first established, anchoring future hope in the reliability of the original covenant promise. David's own verb for this promise — גָּלִיתָ (galita, "you have revealed") — underscores that the hope Amos later invokes rests on a disclosed, not inferred, divine word.
