12:7The Lord also will deliver the homes10 of Judah first, so that the splendor of the kingship11 of David and of the people of Jerusalem may not exceed that of Judah. 12:8On that day the Lord himself will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the weakest among them will be like mighty David, and the dynasty of David will be like God, like the angel of the Lord before them.12
Footnotes
- 10 Heb “the tents” (so , ); “the dwellings.”
- 11 Heb “house,” referring here to the dynastic line. Cf. “the royal line”; “the kingdom.” The same expression is translated “dynasty” in the following verse.
- 12 The statement the dynasty of David will be like God is hyperbole to show the remarkable enhancements that will accompany the inauguration of the millennial age.

And the royal descendants will be like God, like the angel of the Lord who goes before them!

And Yahweh will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not be exalted over Judah. On that day Yahweh will put a shield around the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who stumbles among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Yahweh, before them.

KJV 1900King James Version
The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah first,
That the glory of the house of David
And the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem
Do not magnify themselves against Judah.
In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
And he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David;
And the house of David shall be as God,
As the angel of the Lord before them.
