Charles Ellicott Commentary Deuteronomy 28:36

"Jehovah will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation that thou hast not known, thou nor thy fathers; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone." — Deuteronomy 28:36 (ASV)

Thee, and thy king that thou shalt set over thee. — Compare to Deuteronomy 17:14. The former passage is not the only one in which Moses shows his foreknowledge that Israel would have a king. But could any later writer have concealed his knowledge that there were two kingdoms, or have avoided all allusion to the throne of David in passages like these?

Several kings went into captivity. Jehoahaz was taken to Egypt; Jeconiah and Zedekiah to Babylon. Hoshea’s fate is not recorded in Scripture; but he was taken (apparently) with Samaria by the Assyrians.

Shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. — See Note on Deuteronomy 4:28.
