The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah. Judah is to be 'first saved' because of her meek acknowledgment of dependence on Jerusalem, subordinate to Yahweh's aid.
The tents of Judah - shifting and insecure, as contrasted with the solid fortifications of Jerusalem. But God chooses the weak to confound the mighty, that all human glorying may be set aside.
