Best Answer

Amos was a prophet and writer of the book of Amos in The Bible, who lived in the ninth century BCE and prophesied sometime between 829 to about 804 BCE(Amos 7:14). After the split in the 12 tribes of Israel, (2 tribes continued their worship in Jerusalem, 10 tribes set up their own in Samaria),God called Amos to be a prophet to the idolatrous 10 tribe kingdom. (Amos 7:15).

He was from the town of Tekoa, south of Jerusalem, where he raised sheep(Am 1:1) and worked as a 'nipper of sycamore figs'(a menial task which sped up the ripening and increased the sweetness and size of the figs).

Amos' preaching and prophecies were directed at the departure of Israel (and other nations) from the true belief in Jehovah and the judgments that would result. The Northern Kingdom especially received his attention. Amos also preached assurance of restoration for Israel.
