{To this agree} (	out(9369) sumph(936e)ousin). Associative
instrumental case (	out(9369)) after sumph(936e)ousin (voice together
with, symphony with, harmonize with), from sumph(936e)e(935c), old verb
seen already in  Mt 18:19  Lu 5:36  Ac 5:9  which see. James
cites only  Am 9:11,12  from the LXX as an example of "the words
of the prophets" (hoi logoi t(936e) proph(8874)(936e)) to which he refers
on this point. The somewhat free quotation runs here through
verses  16-18  of  Ac 15  and is exceedingly pertinent. The
Jewish rabbis often failed to understand the prophets as Jesus
showed. The passage in Amos refers primarily to the restoration
of the Davidic empire, but also the Messiah's Kingdom (the throne
of David his father,"  Lu 1:32 ).
