I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Yahweh, have spoken it.

The Promised Prince is Jesus

Commentators unanimously identify "my servant David" not as the historical king, but as a prophetic title for Jesus Christ. Albert Barnes explains that Christ is the "Righteous King" who perfectly fulfills what David represented imperfectly. This verse points to Jesus as the ultimate Prince and Shepherd who rules over God's people.
