Ezekiel 37:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 37:24

And David my servant shall be king over them
The King Messiah, as Kimchi interprets it; and so Abarbinel F9 and others; being of the seed of David, and of whom David was an eminent type; and who, as Mediator, is the Lord's servant, and as man appeared in the form of one: this shows that this prophecy looks further than the times of deliverance from the Babylonish captivity: and they all shall have one shepherd:
or king, the same as before: kings are called shepherds; see ( Ezekiel 34:23 ) ( John 10:16 ) : and they shall also walk in my judgments, and keep my statutes, and do
them;
not the statutes and ordinances of the ceremonial law, which are abolished; and which the Jews, when converted, shall have no regard unto; but rather the precepts of the moral law, and chiefly the evangelic ordinances of baptism and the Lord's supper; which ordinances they shall walk in, and attend unto with constancy and pleasure; and which statutes they shall keep, as they have been delivered, impartially, without delay, in faith and love, and with a view to the glory of God; see ( Ezekiel 36:27 ) .

Ezekiel 37:24 In-Context

22 et faciam eos gentem unam in terra in montibus Israhel et rex unus erit omnibus imperans et non erunt ultra duae gentes nec dividentur amplius in duo regna
23 neque polluentur ultra in idolis suis et abominationibus suis et in cunctis iniquitatibus suis et salvos eos faciam de universis sedibus suis in quibus peccaverunt et mundabo eos et erunt mihi populus et ego ero eis Deus
24 et servus meus David rex super eos et pastor unus erit omnium eorum in iudiciis meis ambulabunt et mandata mea custodient et facient ea
25 et habitabunt super terram quam dedi servo meo Iacob in qua habitaverunt patres vestri et habitabunt super eam ipsi et filii eorum et filii filiorum eorum usque in sempiternum et David servus meus princeps eorum in perpetuum
26 et percutiam illis foedus pacis pactum sempiternum erit eis et fundabo eos et multiplicabo et dabo sanctificationem meam in medio eorum in perpetuum
