THE MESSAGE
Ten men are in a house, all dead. A relative comes and gets the bodies to prepare them for a decent burial. He discovers a survivor huddled in a closet and asks, "Are there any more?" The answer: "Not a soul. But hush! God must not be mentioned in this desecrated place."

Contextual Overview
8Lord Yahweh has sworn by Himself, Yahweh God of hosts has declared:"I abhor the lofty pride of JacobAnd hate his citadels;Therefore I will deliver up the city as well as its fullness." 9And it will be, if ten men are left in one house, they will die. 10Then one's uncle, or the one who burns his bones, will lift him up to bring out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" And that one will say, "No one." Then he will answer, "Keep quiet. For the name of Yahweh is not to be mentioned." 11For behold, Yahweh is going to command and will strike the great house to pieces and the small house to fragments. 12Do horses run on rocks?Or does one plow them with oxen?Yet you have overturned justice into gallAnd the fruit of righteousness into wormwood, 13You who are glad in Lo‑debarAnd say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?" 14"For behold, I am going to raise up a nation against you,O house of Israel," declares Yahweh God of hosts,"And they will press down on you from Lebo‑hamathTo the brook of the Arabah."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
If there shall remain ten men - He probably still denounces the punishment of the rich inhabitants of the palaces, since in these only, of old, would there be found “ten men.” They died, it seems, at once, and so probably through the plague, the common companion. of the siege. The prophet had before compared them to Sodom. It may be, that, in this mention of “ten men,” he tacitly refers to the history of that destruction. Then God promised, not to destroy the city, if there were ten righteous in it Genesis 18:32. Here were “ten left,” not in one city, but in one house. Had God forgotten His loving-kindness? No! but, in Samaria, not even ten who “remained over,” and so had survived after the chastisement had begun, turned to God. All then were to be taken or destroyed. The miseries of its three years’ siege by Shalmanezer may be filled up from those of its earlier siege by Benhadad 2 Kings 6:24-29, or from those of Jerusalem. The sufferings of a siege are in proportion to the obstinacy of the defense; and Samaria resisted for twice the time in which Jerusalem was reduced by famine at its first captivity.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Amos 6:9. Ten men - they shall die. — ALL shall be cut off by the sword, or by captivity, or by famine.
