This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end; his peaceable and happy government shall be enlarged without end; either without end of duration, for ever; but that is expressed in a following clause of this verse: or without end of limitation, or without bounds. It shall not be confined to a narrow spot of ground, the land of Canaan, but shall be extended far and wide to all the ends of the earth.
The throne of David; which was promised to David, and to his seed for ever.
With judgment and with justice; not with oppression and tyranny, by which other kingdoms are commonly managed, but by the administration of justice.
From henceforth even for ever; from the beginning of it unto all eternity.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this; this great work, which surpasseth all the power and skill of men, shall be brought to pass by Almighty God, out of that fervent affection which he hath to his own name and glory, and to the honour of his dearly beloved Son, and unto his church and people.
