“But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.”
God chooses Mount Zion: "but he chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loves." The election of Mount Zion as the place of God's dwelling establishes Jerusalem (and the southern kingdom) as the center of covenantal relationship. The phrase "which he loves" emphasizes that this choice flows from divine affection.
