Haydock's commentary
Juda. David thought it was his duty to co-operate with the designs of Providence. He consults the Lord (Calmet) by means of Abiathar, (Abulensis) or by a prophet. (Josephus)
Hebron, ennobled by the patriarchs. (Menochius)
It was also in the centre of Juda, and the strongest place belonging to that tribe. (Calmet)
Part of Jerusalem was still in the hands of the Jebusites. (Haydock)
