Commentary

Commentary on Psalms 68:27

Theological / Devotional

Little. Heb. ṣa‘ir, meaning also “young,” or “low.” The adjective refers to the ruler of Benjamin, probably Saul. The passage should be rendered, “There is Benjamin, the least rules them.”

Benjamin. Four tribes are mentioned in this verse. Mt. Zion was on the border between Benjamin and Judah. Zebulun and Naphtali may have been used to represent the tribes at the extreme distance from Mt. Zion (see Palestine during the Period of the Judges; cf. Judges 5:18).

Their council. Heb. rigmah. The word is obscure. Commentators explain it to mean “crowd of people,” “cry,” or “noise of weapons.”
