Ver. 2. In Salem also is his tabernacle] i.e. In Jerusalem, which was first called Salem, Gen 14:18 Hebrews 7:1. Secondly, Jebus, 1 Chronicles 11:4 Joshua 15:8; Joshua 18:28. Thirdly, Jerusalem, Joshua 15:63 2 Samuel 5:6, not as if ιερον Sολυμων, or Sολομωντος, Solomon's temple (as Hegesippus would have it, and hence likely came the aspiration Hierusalem), but from that famous Jehovahjireh, Genesis 22:14; Genesis 22:2; which Jireh being added to Salem, maketh it Jerusalem, the vision of peace. Here God was pleased to pitch his tabernacle, movable, and mean, in respect of God's greatness, 1 Kings 8:27 .
And his dwellingplace in Zion] Which therefore will save and see to, as every man doth to the place of his habitation. Lustrum eius, q.d. In Zion desidet ut leo ad praedam paratus (Metaph.).
