This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Whereas the judgments threatened might seem to threaten the utter extirpation of the seed of David, now the Lord is pleased to assure its continuance, and the raising of the Messiah from that house according to promise. Nebuchadnezzar took and planted, and I will also take and plant, saith the Lord, of the royal seed of the house of David, of the highest branch that is heir to the throne, in the type Zorobabel, in the antitype Messiah.
And will set it; both set or plant, and give increase to his kingdom, that from a tender one he should grow up to great strength, victory, and glory.
Upon an high mountain; upon Mount Zion, Psa_2:6, or as Isa_2:2,3. Eminent, not for outward splendour, but for spiritual advantages above other nations in the church.
