Context of Jeremiah 30:9
7Alas! for that day is great, There is none like it; It is the time of Jacob’s [unequaled] trouble, But he will be saved from it. 8‘It shall come about on that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will break the yoke off your neck and I will tear off your bonds and force apart your shackles; and strangers will no longer make slaves of the people [of Israel]. But they shall serve the Lord their God and [the descendant of] David their King, whom I will raise up for them. 10Fear not, O Jacob My servant,’ says the Lord, ‘Nor be dismayed or downcast, O Israel; For behold, I will save you from a distant land [of exile] And your descendants from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return and will be quiet and at ease, And no one will make him afraid. 11For I am with you,’ says the Lord, ‘to save you; For I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, But I will not destroy you completely. But I will judge and discipline you fairly And will by no means regard you as guiltless and leave you unpunished.’

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9But 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, דוד בר למשיחה מאון וישת veyishta meun limschicha bar David, and they shall obey the Messiah, the Son of David."

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9After the Exile, the Israelites stopped worshiping idols and truly served the Lord their God.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. Instead of serving strangers (Jr 30:8), they shall serve the Lord, their rightful King in the theocracy (Eze 21:27). David, their king--No king of David's seed has held the scepter since the captivity; for Zerubbabel, though of David's line, never claimed the title of "king." The Son of David, Messiah, must therefore be meant; so the Targum (compare Is 55:3, 4; Eze 34:23, 24; 37:24; Ho 3:5; Ro 11:25-32). He was appointed to the throne of David (Is 9:7…Read the comment
