8 ‎[1] **God spoke in His Sanctuary** that He would gather the exiles and his [David’s] seed would rule over them. Another explanation: God spoke in His Sanctuary [saying] that I would be king over them.
‎[2] **I will exult** in His salvation. In another explanation, I found: God spoke in His Sanctuaryto help me, as it is written (II Sam. 3:18): “For (sic) by the hand of My bondsman David shall I deliver My people Israel.”
‎[3] **I will divide a portion** I will divide for them a portion of the property of their enemies.
‎[4] **and I will measure the valley of Succoth** I do not know of what nation this Succoth is, and I do not know where the Succoth is that Israel came to when they traveled from Rameses. In other commentaries I found (this is not in all editions): I will divide Shechem—I will restore to them the heritage of their father Jacob. Another explanation: **And I will measure the valley of Succoth** when I divide it for Israel. Shechem and Succoth were at the edge of the land of Canaan, as we find Jacob’s entry to the land through Succoth and Shechem. Another explanation: **and I will measure the valley of Succoth** Succoth is an expression of shapes and imaginations, as is written (II Kings 17:30): “Succoth- Benoth.”
‎[5] **I will measure** I measure their form, as is written (II Sam. 8:2): “two cord-lengths to put to death and one full cord-length to keep alive.”
