Verse 39
And I will for this afflict the seed of David ,.... For the idolatry Solomon had been guilty of, and connived at:
but not for ever ; for when the ten tribes were carried captive, the kingdom of Judah flourished under Hezekiah, Josiah, &c.; and though the tribe of Judah was carried captive, yet it returned after seventy years captivity, and had rulers over it of the seed of David; and especially to the Messiah has God given the throne of his father David, of whose kingdom there will he no end, Luke 1:32 , and Jarchi's note on the text is,
"for in the days of the Messiah the kingdom shall return to it,'
the seed of David; and Abarbinel says, of a truth, at the coming of our Messiah, this prophecy will be fulfilled; but the true Messiah is come already, in whom it is fulfilled; see Kimchi and Abendana, who refer to Ezekiel 37:19 .
