In that day I will raise up the tent of David who is fallen, and close up its breaches, and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by my name,” says Yahweh who does this.
In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and will rebuild the ruins of it, and will set up the parts thereof that have been broken down, and will build it up as in the ancient days: that the remnant of men, and all the Gentiles upon whom my name is called, may earnestly seek me, saith the Lord who does all these things.

Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
James's formal scriptural proof (vv.16-17): 'I will... build the tabernacle of David which has fallen... that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, all the Gentiles who are called by my name.' This follows the Septuagint against the Hebrew: MT 'that they may possess the remnant of Edom' becomes LXX 'that the rest of mankind may seek' (Heb. yireshu 'possess' read as yidreshu 'seek'; 'Edom' read as 'adam, mankind) — the very reading that makes Gentile inclusion the prophetic point. Highest volume and decisive function in the argument.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The apostles' question, 'are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?', sits atop the prophetic hope of the rebuilt 'booth of David' that the remnant and the nations might seek the Lord. Volume: no shared wording here. Recurrence: notable — Luke quotes Amos 9:11-12 at the Jerusalem council (Acts 15:16-17) precisely to interpret how the restored Davidic kingdom includes the nations, which is exactly the tension between v.6 (Israel) and v.8 (the earth). Thematic coherence good; low confidence because the link is conceptual and back-referenced rather than verbal here.
