Verse 3
3. Israel and Judah The prophet does not restrict himself to the kingdom of Judah, whose fate then hung in the balance, but includes Israel as being a component part of the theocracy. Though the kingdom of Israel had been extinct for generations, yet his faith staggers not at God’s covenant promise. From such allusions as that in Luke 2:36, we are led to infer that some of the tribal remnants of Israel returned with Judah to Palestine.
