This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the excellency of Jacob - (Psa 47:4). The sanctuary which was the great glory of the covenant-people [Vatablus], (Eze 24:21). The priesthood, and kingdom, and dignity, conferred on them by God. These, saith God, are of no account in My eyes towards averting punishment [Calvin].
hate his palaces - as being the storehouses of “robbery” (Amo 3:10, Amo 3:15). How sad a change from God’s love of Zion’s gates (Psa 87:2) and palaces (Psa 48:3, Psa 48:13), owing to the people’s sin!
the city - collectively: both Zion and Samaria (Amo 6:1).
all that is therein - literally, “its fullness”; the multitude of men and of riches in it (compare Psa 24:1).
