And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Ver. 24. And David my servant,] i.e., Christ, who came to do the will of his Father in the shape of a servant. Php 2:7 Isa 42:1
And they shall all have one shepherd.] Even David their king is for his clemency here called a shepherd, saith Jerome, tending and tendering his people. See Ezekiel 34:23,24
They shall also walk in my judgments.] All Christ's subjects can say, as those primitive Christians did, Nos non eloquimur magna, sed vivimus. Athenagoras in his apology saith, No Christian is a bad man, ει μη υποκρινηται τον λογον, unless he be a counterfeit.
