Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ Oh, how often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved his heart in that dry wasteland. ⁴¹ Again and again they tested God's patience and provoked the Holy One of Israel. ⁴² They did not remember his power and how he rescued them from their enemies. ⁴³ They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan. ⁴⁴ For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams. ⁴⁵ He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them. ⁴⁶ He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts. ⁴⁷ He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore-figs with sleet. ⁴⁸ He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning. ⁴⁹ He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But chose the tribe of Judah,.... Both to be the seat of kingly power and government, and of religious worship; the latter is chiefly designed. Jerusalem was, at least part of it, in the tribe of Judah: here David, who was of that tribe, dwelt, and Solomon his son, and all the kings of Judah afterwards; here the temple was built, into which the ark of the covenant was put, and whither the tribes went up to worship

the mount Zion, which he loved; where was the city of David; into which the ark was brought when removed from Gibeah, and on part of which the temple was built: the choice of this place, for such a purpose, was from love, Psalms 87:2, it was typical of the church, the choice of which also arises from the everlasting and unchangeable love of God to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But chose the tribe of Judah - He chose David of the tribe of Judah as ruler and king; he chose a place within the limits of Judah, to wit, Mount Zion, or Jerusalem, as the place where his worship was to be celebrated. Thus, the ancient prediction in regard to the supremacy of Judah was accomplished. Genesis 49:8-10.

The Mount Zion, which he loved - Which he chose, for which he had an affection. Compare Psalms 87:2.
