Ezekiel 34:23 *And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.

Isaias 40:11.; Osee 3:5.; John 1:45.; John 10:11.; John 10:14.
David; Christ, who is of the house of David. (Calmet) --- That king had been dead long before, so that no Jew or heretic can deny but that the Messias is here meant, as [in] Ezechiel 37:24., etc. (Worthington) --- He possessed eminently all the virtues of David, and was of his seed. Zorobabel, etc., cannot be understood, as we have no proof that the governors after the captivity were chosen from the tribe of Juda, Ezechiel 21:27.
