And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land. Lest the joining of the Gentile "nations to Jehovah" (Zechariah 2:11) should lead the Jews to fear that their special relation to Him (Deuteronomy 4:20; Deuteronomy 9:29; Deuteronomy 32:9) as "His inheritance" should cease, this verse is added, to assure them of His making them so hereafter "again."
And shall choose Jerusalem again. The course of God's grace was interrupted for a time, but His covenant was not set aside; "For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance" (Romans 11:28-29); the "election" was once for all, and therefore shall hold good forever.
