ExplanationCommentary
Verse 11. David. Saint James, after Saint Peter, explains this of the vocation of the Gentiles. Acts 15:15. Worthington.—After the fall of Israel, Juda still flourished: but this cannot be meant. The prosperity after the return from Babylon, or rather under Jesus Christ, must fulfil the prediction. Zorobalel had a very precarious authority, and the Machabees were not of the tribe of Juda, nor was their kingdom so flourishing or durable. Calmet.
