Did Amos truly say that Yaravam will die via the sword?
1.
Rashi: No. He said only "v'Kamti Al Beis Yaravam" (9) - Shalum ben Yavesh killed Zecharyah ben Yaravam (Melachim II, 15:10). Radak, Malbim ? we do not find that Yaravam died via the sword. Amatziyah deviated for evil, so that Yaravam would be angry and kill Amos. Yaravam did not accept the Leshon ha'Ra 1 and did not harm Amos (refer to Hoshe'a 1:1:6:1). Malbim ? also, Amatziyah said that Amos said so on his own. Also "v'Yisrael Galo Yigleh me'Al Admaso" was Sheker 2 .
