Exegesis
The main verb is followed by the marked object et-haemori {אֶת־הָֽאֱמֹרִי֙ | ʾeṯ-hā-ʾĕ-mō-rî} ‘the Amorite’, with mipnehem {מִפְּנֵיהֶ֔ם | mip-pə-nê-hem} ‘from before them’ presenting the action as removal “from their presence,” implying deliverance through displacement.
In context — Amos 2:9
Yet I Myself destroyed the Amorite before them; his height was like cedars, and he was sturdy as oaks; and I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.
