Amos 9:11,12

Verse 12 defends the inclusion of Gentiles in the Church, not verse 11.

In defending the inclusion of Gentiles in the Church, the Apostle quoted both verses, not only verse 11.

Just because verse 12 was about Gentiles doesn't mean verse 11 was too.

There was sequence - first the house/tabernacle of David, then Gentiles.

The two verses were quoted to validate the inclusion of Gentiles in the Church after the promises concerning the house/tabernacle of David had already been fulfilled.

To the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
