This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gilead; all their land beyond Jordan, which was possessed by Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh, Num_32:29,39,40 Deu 3:10, &c.; Jos_13:25, &c.
Manasseh; the other half of that tribe within Jordan.
Mine head; either,
1. Mine horns, wherewith I shall push mine enemies, according to Moses’s prophecy of that tribe, Deu_33:17. Or,
2. The keeper of mine head, as Achish spake 1Sa_28:2. A chief part of my strength, either to offend mine enemies, or to defend myself. For this tribe was very numerous, and valiant, and rich. See Gen_48:19 Deu_33:17 Psa_78:9.
Judah is my lawgiver; the chief seat of my throne and kingdom, and of the inferior thrones of judgment, Psa_112:5; the tribe to which the royal sceptre and lawgiver are appropriated by God’s appointment, Gen_49:10.
