9 Judah is a lion's whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come: And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Genesis 49:9-10

Judah's name signifies praise. God was praised for him, Isaiah 55:1.
