Mas escolheu a de Judá e o monte Sião, monte de predileção.
Salmos 78:68
Comentário de Albert Barnes
But chose the tribe of Judah – He chose David of the tribe of Judah as ruler and king; he chose a place within the limits of Judah, to wit, Mount Zion, or Jerusalem, as the place where his worship was to be celebrated. Thus, the ancient prediction in regard to the supremacy of Judah was accomplished. Genesis 49:8-10 .
The Mount Zion, which he loved – Which he chose, for which he had an affection. Compare Psalm 87:2 .
Comentário de E.W. Bullinger
que Ele amou. A prova disso foi a remoção da Arca para Sião.
Comentário de John Calvin
68. Mas ele escolheu a tribo de Judá. The meaning is, that God preferred the tribe of Judah to all the rest of the people, and chose from it a king, whom he might set over all the Israelites as well as the Jews. And he chose the mountain of Zion, appointing a certain spot upon it to be the seat of his sanctuary. That the cause of this choice might not be sought any where else but in God, it is particularly stated that the preferring of mount Zion to all other places, and the enriching of it in such a distinguished manner, proceeded entirely from the free and unmerited love of God. The relative which is here put instead of the causal adverb for; the meaning being, that the sanctuary of God was established there, not for any worthiness of the place, but solely because it was the good pleasure of God. It was proper that this second restitution of the people should be no less free than their first adoption was, when God made his covenant with Abraham, or when he delivered them from the land of Egypt. God’s love to the place had a respect to men. From this it follows, that the Church has been gathered together from the beginning, and in all ages, by the pure grace and goodness of God; for never have men been found to possess any intrinsic meritorious claims to his regard, and the Church is too precious to be left to depend upon the power of men.
Comentário de John Wesley
Mas escolheu a tribo de Judá, o monte Sião, que ele amava.
Escolheu – Para o assento da arca e da adoração de Deus.
