Commentary on Isaiah 55:4

Theological / Devotional

I have given him. That is, David (v. 3), who was a type of Christ and upon whose throne Christ was to sit (Ps. 89:3, 4, 20, 35-37; Eze. 34:23, 24; Hosea 3:5; see on Deut. 18:15; Matt. 1:1). For the selection of David as an example of the experience of one who enters fully into the privileges and responsibilities of the covenant relationship, see p. 31.

A leader. Heb. nagid., “chief,” “leader,” “captain,” “ruler,” “prince” (see 1 Sam. 10:1; 13:14; 1 Kings 1:35; 1 Chron. 5:2; 28:4; Dan. 9:25).
