John Gill Commentary Numbers 24:19

"And out of Jacob shall one have dominion, And shall destroy the remnant from the city." — Numbers 24:19 (ASV)

Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion Meaning either David, or rather the Messiah; and so Jarchi interprets this of another ruler out of Jacob, even of the Messiah, of whom it is said, he shall have dominion from sea to sea; (Psalms 72:8) ,

and shall destroy him, that remaineth of the city ; chief city of Edom, or of any of the cities of it, signifying that there should be none left, see (Obadiah 1:18) , this is also applied to the days of the Messiah, in the ancient writings of the Jews ^F17 .
