7God has promised the following through his holiness: “I will triumph! I will divide Shechem. I will measure the valley of Succoth. 8Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine. Ephraim is the helmet on my head. Judah is my scepter. Moab is my washtub. I will throw my shoe over Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia.” 10Who will bring me into the fortified city?

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9Moab - This is fallen from Psalm 60:8. The only change is in the close of the verse. Instead of “Plilistia, triumph thou because of me” Psalm 60:8, it is here, “Over Philistia will I triumph.” Why the change was made is unknown.Read the comment
