This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Chose the tribe of Judah; either,



1. For the seat of the kingdom. Or rather,



2. For the seat of the ark and of God’s worship.



Object. Jerusalem was in the tribe of Benjamin, Jos_18:28.



Answ. 1. It was so in part, and part of it was in Judah, as appears from Jos_15:63; to which tribe Zion belonged by special reason, because David the head of that tribe conquered and took it.



2. Benjamin, after the division of the two kingdoms, was incorporated with Judah, and is oft comprehended under the name of Judah.
