Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 24:10
(10) The Lord of hosts.—A second challenge from the reluctant gates serves as the inauguration of the great name by which the Divine nature was especially known under the monarchy. (For its origin and force, see Note on 1 Samuel 1:3.)
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 24:10
10. The Lord of hosts] The climax is reached. He claims to enter, not merely as a victorious warrior, but as the Sovereign of the Universe. The great title Jehovah Tsebβτth or Lord of hosts, which was characteristic of the regal and prophetic period, meets us here for the first time in the Psalter. Originally perhaps it designated Jehovah as “the God of the armies of Israel” (1 Samuel 17:45), who went forth with His people’s hosts to battle (Psalms 44:9; Psalms 40:10), and whose Presence was the source of victory (Psalms 46:7; Psalms 46:11). But as the phrase “host of heaven” was used for the celestial bodies (Genesis 2:1), and celestial beings (1 Kings 22:19), the meaning of the title was enlarged to designate Jehovah as the ruler of the heavenly powers, the supreme Sovereign of the universe. Hence one of the renderings in the LXX is κύριοςπαντοκράτωρ, Lord Almighty, or rather, All-sovereign. See Additional Note on 1 Samuel in this series, p. 235.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 24:10
Who is this King of glory? - See the notes at Psalms 24:8. The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory - On the meaning of the phrase, “the Lord of hosts,” see the notes at Isaiah 1:9.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 24:10
10. Lord of hosts— “Hosts” designates angels, celestial beings, or armies, when used in this connexion, as in Psalms 103:21. See Psalms 68:17. Not the idea of multitude only, but of a marshalled army.
