Jeremiah 30:9 Summary

[Jeremiah 30:9 tells us that one day, the people of Israel will serve the LORD their God and a future king named David, who will be raised up by God Himself. This means that they will be faithful and obedient to God's commands, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:12-13, and will also submit to the authority of the future king. This verse gives us a glimpse of the future millennial kingdom, where Jesus Christ will reign as King of kings, as described in Revelation 19:16 and Psalm 2:6-7. As we read this verse, we can remember that God is our faithful King and Savior, who loves us and wants us to serve Him with all our hearts, as commanded in Matthew 22:37-38.]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 30:9

But they shall serve the Lord their God,.... And him only, in a spiritual manner, in righteousness and true holiness, with reverence and godly fear; having respect to all his precepts and ordinances,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 30:9

But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:9

Who is here meant by David is not well agreed. Some think this promise was fulfilled in the rule of Zorobabel, and those after the captivity of Babylon, of the family of David, who ruled over the Jews, though not under the style of kings; others think that Christ is intended, as in the other parallel prophecies, 37:22 , and that the deliverance here promised was spiritual; and indeed unless we so understand it, it will be hard to assign a time when the promise of the former and this verse was made good, for upon the return from the captivity to the coming of Christ, and from his time to this day, other nations have served themselves upon the Jews, and they have been in perpetual servitude, first to the Persians, then to the Grecians, then to the Romans, in servitude to whom they were at the coming of Christ, and soon after miserably subdued by them, and since that time almost all nations have served themselves of the Jews. Either therefore this prophecy must be understood in a spiritual sense of the kingdom of Christ, under which the Jews that received him were made spiritually free; or else there is a time yet to come, when this ancient people of God shall be restored to a further civil liberty than they have enjoyed ever since the captivity of Babylon, and be more fully converted to Christ than they yet are; towards which sense many texts of Scripture, besides this, look; particularly ,26.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:9

Jeremiah 30:9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.Ver. 9. But they shall serve the Lord their God.] "Without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of their lives." And David their king,] i.e., Zerubbabel of David’ s line, but especially Christ, the King of saints, as the Jewish doctors also expound it. Whom I will raise up to them.] To be Messiah the Prince. Christ the Lord.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:9

(9) David their king . . .—The name of the old hero-king appears as that of the new representative of the house who is to restore the kingdom. There is to be a second David for Israel, a true king answering to the ideal which he imperfectly represented. Zerubbabel, in whom some interpreters have seen the fulfilment of Jeremiah’s words, was, in his measure, another partial representative of such a king (Haggai 2:21-23). The same mode of speech appears in Hosea 3:5, Isa. Leviticus , 4, and was probably deliberately reproduced by Jeremiah.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:9

Verse 9. But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their King] This must refer to the times of the Messiah; and hence the Chaldee has, "They shall obey the Lord their God, וישת מאון למשיחה בר דוד veyishta meun limschicha bar David, and they shall obey the Messiah, the Son of David." This is a very remarkable version; and shows that it was a version, not according to the letter, but according to their doctrine and their expectation. David was long since dead; and none of his descendants ever reigned over them after the Babylonish captivity, nor have they since been a regal nation. Zerubbabel, under the Persians, and the Asmoneans, can be no exception to this. They have been no nation since; they are no nation now; and it is only in the latter days that they can expect to be a nation, and that must be a Christian nation. Christ is promised under the name of his progenitor, David, Isaiah 55:3-4; Ezekiel 34:23-24; Ezekiel 37:24-25; Hosea 3:5.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 30:9

9. the Lord their God, and David their king] For the whole expression as uniting Jehovah and the Messiah, cp. Hosea 3:5, and for the Messiah spoken of elsewhere also under the name David, Ezekiel 34:23 f., Ezekiel 37:24 f.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 30:9

David their king - See Jeremiah 23:5-6; i. e., Messiah.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 30:9

9. David their king — The divine David — the Messiah — the antetypal David.
