- It is evident that the grand union of Israel and Judah here predicted, and their government under one king, and that king to be David, must still be future; for, politically speaking, they never had a king from that day to this, far less a king or prince of that name. (See note on "And I will set upª° oneª shepherdª° over¹ them, and he shall feedª° them, [even]¹ my servantª David;ª he shall feedª° them, and he¹ shall be¹ their shepherd.ª°" {Ezk 34:23}.) "And Davidª my servantª [shall be] kingª over¹ them; and they all¹ shall have¹ oneª shepherd:ª° they shall also walk²°¹ in my judgments,ª and observeª° my statutes,ª and doª° them." {Ezk 37:24} + "And I will set upª° oneª shepherdª° over¹ them, and he shall feedª° them, [even]¹ my servantª David;ª he shall feedª° them, and he¹ shall be¹ their shepherd.ª° ... And I¹ the LORDª will be¹ their God,ª and my servantª Davidª a princeª amongª them; I¹ the LORDª have spokenª° [it]." {Ezk 34:23-24} + "The sceptreª shall not¹ departª° from Judah,ª¹ nor a lawgiverª° from between¹¹ his feet,ª untilª¹ Shilohª come;ª° and unto him [shall] the gatheringª of the peopleª [be]." {Gen 49:10} + "Yet have I¹ setª° my kingª upon¹ my holyª hillª of Zion.ª" {Psa 2:6} + "Kissª° the Son,ª lest¹ he be angry,ª° and ye perishª° [from] the way,ª when¹ his wrathª is kindledª° but a little.ª Blessedª [are] all¹ they that put their trustª° in him." {Psa 2:12} + "[[[A Psalm] for Solomon.]]ª Giveª° the kingª thy judgments,ª O God,ª and thy righteousnessª unto the king'sª son.ª" {Psa 72:1} + "He shall have dominionª° also from seaª¹ to¹ sea,ª and from the riverª¹ unto¹ the endsª of the earth.ª" {Psa 72:8} + "For¹ unto us a childª is born,ª° unto us a sonª is given:ª° and the governmentª shall be upon¹ his shoulder:ª and his nameª shall be¹ calledª° Wonderful,ª Counsellor,ª° The mightyª God,ª The everlastingª Father,ª The Princeª of Peace.ª ... Of the increaseª of [his] governmentª and peaceª [there shall be] no¹ end,ª upon¹ the throneª of David,ª and upon¹ his kingdom,ª to orderª° it, and to establishª° it with judgmentª and with justiceª from henceforth¹¹ even for² ever.ª¹ The zealª of the LORDª of hostsª will performª° this.¹" {Isa 9:6-7} + "Behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that I will raiseª° unto Davidª a righteousª Branch,ª and a Kingª shall reignª° and prosper,ª° and shall executeª° judgmentª and justiceª in the earth.ª ... In his daysª Judahª shall be saved,ª° and Israelª shall dwellª° safely:ª and this¹ [is] his nameª whereby¹ he shall be called,ª° THE LORD¹ OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.²¹" {Jer 23:5-6} + "Behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that I will performª°¹ that goodª thingª which¹ I have promisedª° unto¹ the houseª of Israelª and to¹ the houseª of Judah.ª ... For¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Davidª shall neverª wantª° a manª to sitª° upon¹ the throneª of the houseª of Israel;ª" {Jer 33:14-17} + "Thenª will I cast awayª° the seedª of Jacob,ª and Davidª my servant,ª [so] that I will not takeª°¹ [any] of his seedª¹ [to be] rulersª° over¹ the seedª of Abraham,ª Isaac,ª and Jacob:ª for¹ I will cause¹ their captivityª to return,ª°°° and have mercyª° on them." {Jer 33:26} + "For¹ the childrenª of Israelª shall abideª° manyª daysª without¹ a king,ª and without¹ a prince,ª and without¹ a sacrifice,ª and without¹ an image,ª and without¹ an ephod,ª and [without] teraphim:ª ... Afterwardª shall the childrenª of Israelª return,ª° and seekª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª and Davidª their king;ª and shall fearª°¹ the LORDª and his goodnessª in the latterª days.ª" {Hsa 3:4-5} + "Heª shall beª° great,ª andª shall be calledª° the Sonª of the Highest:ª andª the Lordª Godª shall giveª° unto himª the¹ throneª of hisª fatherª David:ª ... Andª he shall reignª° overª the¹ houseª of Jacobª for² ever;ª¹ andª of hisª kingdomª there shall beª° noª end.ª" {Lke 1:32-33} + "Andª otherª sheepª I have,ª° whichª areª° notª ofª thisª fold:ª them alsoª Iª mustª° bring,ª° andª they shall hearª° myª voice;ª andª there shall beª° oneª fold,ª [and] oneª shepherd.ª" {Jhn 10:16} + "Andª the¹ seventhª angelª sounded;ª° andª there wereª° greatª voicesª inª heaven,ª saying,ª° The¹ kingdomsª of this worldª are becomeª° [the kingdoms] of ourª Lord,ª andª of his²¹ Christ;ª andª he shall reignª° for² ever² and ever.ª¹" {Rev 11:15}
