Amos 6:9
"And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it shall come to pass,.... When the city is delivered up and taken: if there remain; who are not carried captive, or destroyed by the sword: ten men in

one house; that is, many, a certain number for an uncertain: that they shall die; either with famine, or by the pestilence, though they have escaped the other calamities; so general shall the destruction be, by one means or another.
