John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 37:22

"and I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all;" — Ezekiel 37:22 (ASV)

And I will make them one nation in the land upon the
mountains of Israel ,
&c;] As they were in the times of David and Solomon, who were both types of the Messiah; and to whose times the ancient Jews referred this prophecy ^F5, as then to have its accomplishment: and one king shall be king to them all ,

not Zerubbabel, nor Nehemiah, nor Judas Maccabaeus; for these were neither of them kings; and much less such as reigned for ever, as it is said this king shall, (Ezekiel 37:25) , besides, he is expressly said to be David, that is, the Messiah the son of David; and this clause is applied to him by a modern Jewish writer ^F6:

and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided
into two kingdoms any more at all ;
which is the very thing the two sticks made one were an emblem of.
