What does the Bible say about the King of Jacob?

Answered in 1 source

The King of Jacob refers to God as the sovereign ruler who chose His people, exemplified in His love for Jacob despite his flaws.

In Isaiah 41, the title 'King of Jacob' emphasizes God's sovereignty and mercy towards His chosen ones, like Jacob, who was seen as flawed and sinful. Despite his supplanting ways, God did not abandon Jacob; rather, He claimed him as His own, demonstrating that His love does not depend on human merit. This reinforces the Reformed doctrine that salvation is based on God's sovereign choice rather than human works.
Scripture References: Isaiah 41:21-29, Romans 9:18-20
