Context of Jeremiah 30:9
7It will be a time of terrible trouble, worse than anything that has happened before. It will be a time of great trouble for Jacob's descendants. But I will rescue them from their trouble.’ 8The Lord Almighty says this: ‘When that day comes, I will break the yoke that is around your necks. I will remove the ropes that tie your legs. My people will no longer be slaves under the power of foreign people. Instead, they will serve the Lord their God. They will serve David's descendant. I will raise that man up to be their king.’ 10The Lord says, ‘Do not be afraid, descendants of Jacob, my servants. People of Israel, do not be upset. I will rescue you and your descendants from your enemies. I will bring you back from the land far away, where you are prisoners. Jacob's descendants will return to their own land. They will live there safely in peace. There will be no enemies to make them afraid.’ 11The Lord says, ‘I am with you and I will save you. I have sent you away to live in foreign lands. That was the punishment that you deserved. I will completely destroy the nations where I sent you to live. But I will not completely destroy you. I will certainly punish you, but only as much as you deserve.’

- 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."

- 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
