This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Out of Jacob; out of Jacob’s loins.



He that shall have dominion; David, and especially Christ.



Of the city, or, from or out of this city, i.e. the cities, the singular number for the plural, which hath been oft noted before. The sense is, He shall not only subdue those Moabites and Edomites which meet him in the field, but he shall pursue them even to their strongest holds and cities, and shall pull them out thence. Possibly he may note some eminent city in which they confided most, their metropolis or royal city, as may be guessed from Psa_60:9.
