But Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first,—lest the honour of the house of David, and the honour of the inhabitant of Jerusalem, should be magnified over Judah.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

In Context

8In that day, will Yahweh, throw a covering, around the inhabitant of Jerusalem, so shall the tottering among them, in that day, become like David,—and the house of David—like God, like the messenger of Yahweh, before them.
