22 Heb “Migdal-eder.” Some English versions transliterate this phrase, apparently because they view it as a place name (cf. ).
23 The city of David, located within Jerusalem, is addressed as Daughter Zion. As the home of the Davidic king, who was Israel’s shepherd (Ps 78:70–72), the royal citadel could be viewed metaphorically as the watchtower of the flock.
24 Heb “to you it will come, the former dominion will arrive.”
