The Promised King is Jesus
Commentators unanimously agree that 'David their king' does not refer to the historical King David being resurrected. Instead, it is a prophetic title for the Messiah. As scholars like Calvin and Gill point out, David had been dead for centuries, and this promise points forward to a future, ideal king from his line—Jesus Christ. This interpretation is supported by Jewish tradition and other Old Testament prophecies.
