Daughter used also for granddaughter, or female descendant (Ge 31:43; 27:46). "Daughter of Zion," "daughter of Jerusalem" (Isa 37:22); i.e., Zion or Jerusalem and her inhabitants, personified poetically as an abstract collective feminine. Hengstenberg takes "daughter of Zion" or Zion, "daughter of Jerusalem" or Jerasalem (compare Ps 9:14). "Daughters of music," (Ec 12:4): songs and instrumental performances sound low to the old (2Sa 19:35); otherwise the voice and ear, the organs which produce and enjoy music. Analogy favors the former view. As the principal city is termed "mother," so its dependent villages are called "daughter towns" (Jos 15:45, Hebrew).
