About Amos (Amon)
Amos was a Hebrew prophet (someone who delivered messages from God) who lived in the eighth century BC.
Everything we know about Amos comes from the book named after him in the Bible. He was a shepherd living in Tekoa. Tekoa is a village about 16 kilometers (10 miles) south of Jerusalem. Amos lived here when God spoke to him in a vision (Amos 1:1–2).
