24 "My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd ; and they will walk in My ordinances and keep My statutes and observe them. 25 "They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant , in which your fathers lived ; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons' sons , forever e ; and David My servant will be their prince forever . 26 "I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in their midst forever . 27 "My dwelling place also will be with them; and I will be their God , and they will be My people . 28 "And the nations will know that I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel , when My sanctuary is in their midst forever .""'

Commentary on Ezekiel 37:15-28
(Read Ezekiel 37:15-28)
This emblem was to show the people, that the Lord would unite Judah and Israel. Christ is the true David, Israel's King of old; and those whom he makes willing in the day of his power, he makes to walk in his judgments, and to keep his statutes. Events yet to come will further explain this prophecy. Nothing has more hindered the success of the gospel than divisions. Let us study to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace; let us seek for Divine grace to keep us from detestable things; and let us pray that all nations may be obedient and happy subjects of the Son of David, that the Lord may be our God, and we may be his people for evermore.
