EXPLANATION

Verse 11. In the historical sense he is speaking of the prosperity of the house of Juda, in the reign of Ezechias, or their return from captivity. But in this respect, it is certain that the prophecy never had its entire accomplishment. The passage in the text is cited from the Septuagint. The Hebrew is, “I will raise up the house of David … that it may possess all the nations,” and so forth Now it is true that the nations never were subject to the house of David, or known by the name of the people of God; but by their vocation to the gospel, as Saint James explains it. Calmet.
