This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shall save; rescue from the power and rage of the Antiochuses, nay, subdue their armies, and put them to flight before the Jews.
The tents; the unfenced places, the open country, the shepherd-like cottages or tents of Judah.
Of Judah first; before he saveth Jerusalem, before he put Jerusalem into arms, or bring her inhabitants into the field, to fight, and help the country and its inhabitants; first the weaker are saved, next the stronger.
That the glory of the house of David, that the illustrious house of David, and so the glorious citizens of Jerusalem,
do not magnify themselves against Judah; boast of their power, policy, courage, and forwardness, and how much Judah owed to these for their deliverance: this would exasperate Judah, and provoke God, who would do all this: so that all might magnify their God, none think greatly of themselves.
