Context of Ezekiel 34:24
22Because you do this, I will rescue my sheep. They will no longer be in danger from other animals. I will judge between one sheep and another sheep. 23Then I will choose one shepherd to lead them. He is my servant, David. He will take care of them as their shepherd. I, the Lord, will be their God. My servant David will be their ruler. I, the Lord, have said this. 25I will make an agreement with them, that I will give them peace. I will remove the dangerous wild animals from the land. Then they can live there safely, even in the wilderness. They will not be afraid when they sleep in the forests. 26I will bless them with many good things as they live around my holy hill. I will send rain at the proper time each year. The rain will bring my blessings to them.

Commentaries on Ezekiel 34:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24I the Lord will be their God, and my Servant David a Prince - Here we find God and his Christ are all in all in his Church, and Jesus is still Prince among them; and to him the call and qualifications of all genuine pastors belong, and from him they must be derived. And he has blotted out what is called uninterrupted succession, that every Christian minister may seek and receive credentials from himself. Here is the grand reason why the uninterrupted…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20-31Verses 20-31 Yahweh having promised to be a Ruler of His people, the administration of the divine kingdom is now described, as carried on by One King, the representative of David, whose dominion should fulfill all the promises originally made to the man after God‘s own heart.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2424. my servant--implying fitness for ruling in the name of God, not pursuing a self-chosen course, as other kings, but acting as the faithful administrator of the will of God; Messiah realized fully this character (Psa 40:7, 8; Is 42:1; 49:3, 6; 53:11; Php 2:7), which David typically and partially represented (Ac 13:36); so He is the fittest person to wield the world scepter, abused by all the world kings (Da 2:34, 35, 44, 45).Read the comment
