Context — One Nation with One King
20When the sticks on which you write are in your hand and in full view of the people,
21you are to tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will take the Israelites out of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them from all around and bring them into their own land.
22I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over all of them. Then they will no longer be two nations and will never again be divided into two kingdoms.
23They will no longer defile themselves with their idols or detestable images, or with any of their transgressions. I will save them from all their apostasies by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God. 24My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes.Cross References

Ezekiel 37:22 Summary
[This verse, Ezekiel 37:22, is talking about how God is going to bring the Israelites back together as one nation, with one king ruling over them, similar to how God brought them out of slavery in Egypt, as seen in Exodus 12:31-42. This is a promise of restoration and unity for God's people, as also seen in Jeremiah 31:31-34. God wants His people to be one, and He will make that happen, as stated in John 17:21-23. This is a beautiful picture of God's love and care for His people, and it reminds us that we are all part of God's family, as stated in Galatians 3:26-29.]

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 37:22
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel, c] As they were in the times of David and Solomon, who were both types of the Messiah; and to whose times is referred this
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 37:22
And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:22
I will make them one nation: they were one in David’ s time, who was type of the Messiah, and continued so to the end of Solomon’ s time, whose name includes peace. So when the Beloved, the Peace-maker, the Messiah shall be King, and on his throne exercising his kingly power, they shall be once more one again. In the land of Canaan, called here, as elsewhere, the mountains of Israel. One king; Messiah; the most and best, if not the learnedest, interpreters understand not Zerubbabel, nor Nehemiah, nor Judas Maccabeus. No more two nations; the union under the Messiah’ s visible and actual exercise of his regal power shall be perpetual. From this place, so full and express for a firm, lasting union between the two nations Ephraim and Judah, and their being of two kingdoms made one in the land whence they were scattered, some take occasion to inquire whether it be fulfilled already, or remaineth yet to be accomplished; the discussion whereof, as it would be very alien to a literal paraphrase, and too prolix, I pass over, saying no more of it in the affirmative or negative.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:22
Ezekiel 37:22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:Ver. 22. And I will make them one nation.] Who were before at deadly feud, and fought many bloody battles. Solemur et nos hac promissione contra schismata, Let us also comfort ourselves with this promise against schisms, saith Oecolampadius. Christ will cause the false prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land; he will also so work in the hearts of his people, that they shall, "with one mind and one mouth, glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:22
Verse 22. I will make them one nation] There was no distinction after the return from Babylon. And one king shall be king to them all] Politically speaking they never had a king from that day to this; and the grand junction and government spoken of here must refer to another time - to that in which they shall be brought into the Christian Church with the fulness of the Gentiles; when JESUS, the King of kings and Lord of lords, shall rule over all.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 37:22
22. This promise runs throughout all prophecy. The disruption of the state was felt even by Hosea, a native of the north, to have introduced a schism into the one kingdom of Jehovah, and to have broken the unity of the consciousness of the community, to which the consciousness of the one God corresponded. Hosea 1:11; Hosea 8:3-4; Isaiah 11:13; Jeremiah 3:18. The one God, the husband of the community, required that the community should also be one, with a single affection and service. Cf. Ezekiel 34:23-24.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 37:22
15-22. By this symbolic action, the last which is recorded of him, Ezekiel visibly pictures the reunion of Judah and Israel, the southern and northern kingdoms, into one nation.
