God's Humble Choices
Matthew Henry notes a significant omission from this list of Judah's cities: Bethlehem. The future city of David and birthplace of Jesus was so insignificant at this time that it wasn't even counted. This serves as a powerful reminder that God often chooses what the world considers small and humble to accomplish His greatest purposes, as prophesied in Micah 5:2.
