A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
bear the glory--that is, wear the insignia of the kingly glory, "the crowns" (Psa 21:5; Psa 102:16; Isa 52:13). He himself shall bear the glory, not thou, Joshua, though thou dost bear the crowns. The Church's dignity is in her head alone, Christ. So Eliakim, type of Messiah, was to have "all the glory of his father's house hung upon him" (Isa 22:24).

sit--implying security and permanence.

priest . . . throne-- (Gen 14:18; Psa 110:4; Heb 5:6, Heb 5:10; Heb 6:20; Heb. 7:1-28).

counsel of peace . . . between . . . both--Joshua and Zerubbabel, the religious and civil authorities co-operating in the temple, typify the peace, or harmonious union, between both the kingly and priestly offices. The kingly majesty shall not depress the priestly dignity, nor the priestly dignity the kingly majesty [JEROME]. The peace of the Church, formerly sought for in the mutual "counsels" of the kings and the priests, who had been always distinct, shall be perfectly ensured by the concurrence of the two offices in the one Messiah, who by His mediatorial priesthood purchases it, and by His kingly rule maintains it. VITRINGA takes "His throne" to be Jehovah the Father's. Thus it will be, "there shall be . . . peace between the Branch and Jehovah" [LUDOVICUS DE DIEU]. The other view is better, namely, "Messiah's throne." As Priest He expiates sin; as King, extirpates it. "Counsel of peace," implies that it is the plan of infinite "wisdom," whence Messiah is called "Counsellor" (Isa 9:6; Eph 1:8, Eph 1:11; Heb 6:17). Peace between the kingly and priestly attributes of Messiah implies the harmonizing of the conflicting claims of God's justice as a King, and His love as a Father and Priest. Hence is produced peace to man (Luk 2:14; Act 10:36; Eph 2:13-17). It is only by being pardoned through His atonement and ruled by His laws, that we can find "peace." The royal "throne" was always connected with the "temple," as is the case in the Apocalypse (Rev 7:15), because Christ is to be a king on His throne and a priest, and because the people, whose "king" the Lord is, cannot approach Him except by a priestly mediation [ROOS]. Jesus shall come to effect, by His presence (Isa 11:4; Dan 7:17), that which in vain is looked for, in His absence, by other means. He shall exercise His power mediatorially as priest on His throne (Zac 6:13); therefore His reign is for a limited period, which it could not be if it were the final and everlasting state of glory. But being for a special purpose, to reconcile all things in this world, now disordered by sin, and so present it to God the Father that He may again for the first time since the fall come into direct connection with His creatures; therefore it is limited, forming the dispensation in the fulness of times (Eph 1:10), when God shall gather in one all things in Christ, the final end of which shall be, "God all in all" (Co1 15:24-28).

24 Then [1534] cometh the end [5056], when [3752] he shall have delivered up [3860] the kingdom [932] to God [2316], even [2532] the Father [3962]; when [3752] he shall have put down [2673] all [3956] rule [746] and [2532] all [3956] authority [1849] and [2532] power [1411].
25 For [1063] he [846] must [1163] reign [936], till [891] [3739] he hath put [302] [5087] all [3956] enemies [2190] under [5259] his [846] feet [4228].
26 The last [2078] enemy [2190] that shall be destroyed [2673] is death [2288].
27 For [1063] he hath put [5293] all things [3956] under [5259] his [846] feet [4228]. But [1161] when [3752] he saith [2036] [3754] all things [3956] are put under [5293] him, it is manifest [1212] that [3754] he is excepted [1622], which did put [5293] all things [3956] under [5293] him [846].
28 And [1161] when [3752] all things [3956] shall be subdued [5293] unto him [846], then [5119] shall [5293] the Son [5207] also [2532] himself [846] be subject [5293] unto him that put [5293] all things [3956] under [5293] him [846], that [2443] God [2316] may be [5600] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956].
10 That in [1519] the dispensation [3622] of the fulness [4138] of times [2540] he might gather together in one [346] all things [3956] in [1722] Christ [5547], both [5037] which [3588] are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] which [3588] are on [1909] earth [1093]; even in [1722] him [846]:
13 Even he shall build [01129] the temple [01964] of the LORD [03068]; and he shall bear [05375] the glory [01935], and shall sit [03427] and rule [04910] upon his throne [03678]; and he shall be a priest [03548] upon his throne [03678]: and the counsel [06098] of peace [07965] shall be between them both [08147].
17 These [0459] great [07260] beasts [02423], which [0581] are four [0703], are four [0703] kings [04430], which shall arise [06966] out of [04481] the earth [0772].
4 But with righteousness [06664] shall he judge [08199] the poor [01800], and reprove [03198] with equity [04334] for the meek [06035] of the earth [0776]: and he shall smite [05221] the earth [0776] with the rod [07626] of his mouth [06310], and with the breath [07307] of his lips [08193] shall he slay [04191] the wicked [07563].
15 Therefore [1223] [5124] are they [1526] before [1799] the throne [2362] of God [2316], and [2532] serve [3000] him [846] day [2250] and [2532] night [3571] in [1722] his [846] temple [3485]: and [2532] he that sitteth [2521] on [1909] the throne [2362] shall dwell [4637] among [1909] them [846].
13 But [1161] now [3570] in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] ye [5210] who [3588] sometimes [4218] were [5607] far off [3112] are made [1096] nigh [1451] by [1722] the blood [129] of Christ [5547].
14 For [1063] he [846] is [2076] our [2257] peace [1515], who [3588] hath made [4160] both [297] one [1520], and [2532] hath broken down [3089] the middle wall [3320] of partition [5418] between us;
15 Having abolished [2673] in [1722] his [846] flesh [4561] the enmity [2189], even the law [3551] of commandments [1785] contained in [1722] ordinances [1378]; for to [2443] make [2936] in [1722] himself [1438] of twain [1417] one [1519] [1520] new [2537] man [444], so making [4160] peace [1515];
16 And [2532] that he might reconcile [604] both [297] unto God [2316] in [1722] one [1520] body [4983] by [1223] the cross [4716], having slain [615] the enmity [2189] thereby [1722] [846]:
17 And [2532] came [2064] and preached [2097] peace [1515] to you [5213] which [3588] were afar off [3112], and [2532] to them that were nigh [1451].
36 The word [3056] which [3739] God sent [649] unto the children [5207] of Israel [2474], preaching [2097] peace [1515] by [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]: (he [3778] is [2076] Lord [2962] of all [3956]:)
14 Glory [1391] to God [2316] in [1722] the highest [5310], and [2532] on [1909] earth [1093] peace [1515], good will [2107] toward [1722] men [444].
17 Wherein [1722] [3739] God [2316], willing [1014] more abundantly [4054] to shew [1925] unto the heirs [2818] of promise [1860] the immutability [276] of his [846] counsel [1012], confirmed [3315] it by an oath [3727]:
11 In [1722] whom [3739] also [2532] we have obtained an inheritance [2820], being predestinated [4309] according to [2596] the purpose [4286] of him who worketh [1754] all things [3956] after [2596] the counsel [1012] of his own [846] will [2307]:
8 Wherein [3739] he hath abounded [4052] toward [1519] us [2248] in [1722] all [3956] wisdom [4678] and [2532] prudence [5428];
6 For unto us a child [03206] is born [03205], unto us a son [01121] is given [05414]: and the government [04951] shall be upon his shoulder [07926]: and his name [08034] shall be called [07121] Wonderful [06382], Counsellor [03289], The mighty [01368] God [0410], The everlasting [05703] Father [01], The Prince [08269] of Peace [07965].
20 Whither [3699] the forerunner [4274] is [1525] for [5228] us [2257] entered [1525], even Jesus [2424], made [1096] an high priest [749] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
10 Called [4316] of [5259] God [2316] an high priest [749] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
6 As [2531] he saith [3004] also [2532] in [1722] another [2087] place, Thou [4771] art a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
4 The LORD [03068] hath sworn [07650], and will not repent [05162], Thou art a priest [03548] for ever [05769] after the order [01700] of Melchizedek [04442].
18 And Melchizedek [04442] king [04428] of Salem [08004] brought forth [03318] bread [03899] and wine [03196]: and he was the priest [03548] of the most high [05945] God [0410].
24 And they shall hang [08518] upon him all the glory [03519] of his father's [01] house [01004], the offspring [06631] and the issue [06849], all vessels [03627] of small [06996] quantity, from the vessels [03627] of cups [0101], even to all the vessels [03627] of flagons [05035].
13 Behold, my servant [05650] shall deal prudently [07919], he shall be exalted [07311] and extolled [05375], and be very [03966] high [01361].
16 When the LORD [03068] shall build up [01129] Zion [06726], he shall appear [07200] in his glory [03519].
5 His glory [03519] is great [01419] in thy salvation [03444]: honour [01935] and majesty [01926] hast thou laid [07737] upon him.
19 For it pleased [2106] the Father that [3754] in [1722] him [846] should [2730] all [3956] fulness [4138] dwell [2730];
20 And [2532], having made peace [1517] through [1223] the blood [129] of his [846] cross [4716], by [1223] him [846] to reconcile [604] all things [3956] unto [1519] himself [846]; by [1223] him [846], I say, whether [1535] they be things in [1909] earth [1093], or [1535] things in [1722] heaven [3772].
16 And [2532] that he might reconcile [604] both [297] unto God [2316] in [1722] one [1520] body [4983] by [1223] the cross [4716], having slain [615] the enmity [2189] thereby [1722] [846]:
17 And [2532] came [2064] and preached [2097] peace [1515] to you [5213] which [3588] were afar off [3112], and [2532] to them that were nigh [1451].
14 For [1063] he [846] is [2076] our [2257] peace [1515], who [3588] hath made [4160] both [297] one [1520], and [2532] hath broken down [3089] the middle wall [3320] of partition [5418] between us;
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
10 Believest thou [4100] not [3756] that [3754] I [1473] am [2076] in [1722] the Father [3962], and [2532] the Father [3962] in [1722] me [1698]? the words [4487] that [3739] I [1473] speak [2980] unto you [5213] I speak [2980] not [3756] of [575] myself [1683]: but [1161] the Father [3962] that dwelleth [3306] in [1722] me [1698], he [846] doeth [4160] the works [2041].
38 For [3754] I came down [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], not [3756] to [2443] do [4160] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of him that sent [3992] me [3165].
30 I [1473] can [1410] of [575] mine own self [1683] do [4160] nothing [3756] [3762]: as [2531] I hear [191], I judge [2919]: and [2532] my [1699] judgment [2920] is [2076] just [1342]; because [3754] I seek [2212] not [3756] mine own [1699] will [2307], but [235] the will [2307] of the Father [3962] which hath sent [3992] me [3165].
27 Who [3739] needeth [2192] [318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [749], to offer up [399] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] once [2178], when he offered up [399] himself [1438].
9 Which [3748] was a figure [3850] for [1519] the time [2540] then present [1764], in [2596] which [3739] were offered [4374] both [5037] gifts [1435] and [2532] sacrifices [2378], that could [1410] not [3361] make [5048] him that did the service [3000] perfect [5048], as pertaining to [2596] the conscience [4893];
1 For [1063] every [3956] high priest [749] taken [2983] from among [1537] men [444] is ordained [2525] for [5228] men [444] in things pertaining to [4314] God [2316], that [2443] he may offer [4374] both [5037] gifts [1435] and [2532] sacrifices [2378] for [5228] sins [266]:
20 Deceit [04820] is in the heart [03820] of them that imagine [02790] evil [07451]: but to the counsellors [03289] of peace [07965] is joy [08057].
16 Beside the chief [08269] of Solomon's [08010] officers [05324] which were over the work [04399], three [07969] thousand [0505] and three [07969] hundred [03967], which ruled [07287] over the people [05971] that wrought [06213] in the work [04399].
14 And the cities [05892] which the Philistines [06430] had taken [03947] from Israel [03478] were restored [07725] to Israel [03478], from Ekron [06138] even unto Gath [01661]; and the coasts [01366] thereof did Israel [03478] deliver [05337] out of the hands [03027] of the Philistines [06430]. And there was peace [07965] between Israel [03478] and the Amorites [0567].
17 Howbeit Sisera [05516] fled away [05127] on his feet [07272] to the tent [0168] of Jael [03278] the wife [0802] of Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017]: for there was peace [07965] between Jabin [02985] the king [04428] of Hazor [02674] and the house [01004] of Heber [02268] the Kenite [07017].
31 When [1161] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall come [2064] in [1722] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] all [3956] the holy [40] angels [32] with [3326] him [846], then [5119] shall he sit [2523] upon [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391]:
16 For [3754] by [1722] him [846] were [2936] all things [3956] created [2936], that are in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] that are in [1909] earth [1093], visible [3707] and [2532] invisible [517], whether [1535] they be thrones [2362], or [1535] dominions [2963], or [1535] principalities [746], or [1535] powers [1849]: all things [3956] were created [2936] by [1223] him [846], and [2532] for [1519] him [846]:
17 And [2532] he [846] is [2076] before [4253] all things [3956], and [2532] by [1722] him [846] all things [3956] consist [4921].
32 He [3778] shall be [2071] great [3173], and [2532] shall be called [2564] the Son [5207] of the Highest [5310]: and [2532] the Lord [2962] God [2316] shall give [1325] unto him [846] the throne [2362] of his [846] father [3962] David [1138]:
33 And [2532] he shall reign [936] over [1909] the house [3624] of Jacob [2384] for [1519] ever [165]; and [2532] of his [846] kingdom [932] there shall be [2071] no [3756] end [5056].
1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] said [05002] unto my Lord [0113], Sit [03427] thou at my right hand [03225], until I make [07896] thine enemies [0341] thy footstool [01916] [07272].
6 Yet have I set [05258] my king [04428] upon my holy [06944] hill [02022] of Zion [06726].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
28 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], That [3754] ye [5210] which [3588] have followed [190] me [3427], in [1722] the regeneration [3824] when [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall sit [2523] in [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391], ye [5210] also [2532] shall sit [2523] upon [1909] twelve [1427] thrones [2362], judging [2919] the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of Israel [2474].
11 Searching [2045] what [1519] [5101], or [2228] what manner [4169] of time [2540] the Spirit [4151] of Christ [5547] which [3588] was in [1722] them [846] did signify [1213], when it testified beforehand [4303] the sufferings [3804] of [1519] Christ [5547], and [2532] the glory [1391] that should follow [3326] [5023].
12 Unto whom [3739] it was revealed [601], that [3754] not [3756] unto themselves [1438], but [1161] unto us [2254] they did minister [1247] the things [846], which [3739] are [312] now [3568] reported [312] unto you [5213] by [1223] them that have preached the gospel [2097] unto you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] sent down [649] from [575] heaven [3772]; which things [3739] the angels [32] desire [1937] to look [3879] into [1519].
26 Ought [1163] not [3780] Christ [5547] to have suffered [3958] these things [5023], and [2532] to enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] glory [1391]?
32 But [1161] Peter [4074] and [2532] they that were with [4862] him [846] were [2258] heavy [916] with sleep [5258]: and [1161] when they were awake [1235], they saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] the two [1417] men [435] that stood with [4921] him [846].
11 This [5026] beginning [746] of miracles [4592] did [4160] Jesus [2424] in [1722] Cana [2580] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] manifested forth [5319] his [846] glory [1391]; and [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] believed [4100] on [1519] him [846].
41 These things [5023] said [2036] Esaias [2268], when [3753] he saw [1492] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] spake [2980] of [4012] him [846].
12 Saying [3004] with a loud [3173] voice [5456], Worthy [514] is [2076] the Lamb [721] that was slain [4969] to receive [2983] power [1411], and [2532] riches [4149], and [2532] wisdom [4678], and [2532] strength [2479], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] blessing [2129].
13 And [2532] every [3956] creature [2938] which [3739] is [2076] in [1722] heaven [3772], and [2532] on [1722] the earth [1093], and [2532] under [5270] the earth [1093], and [2532] such as [3739] are [2076] in [1909] the sea [2281], and [2532] all [3956] that are in [1722] them [846], heard I [191] saying [3004], Blessing [2129], and [2532] honour [5092], and [2532] glory [1391], and [2532] power [2904], be unto him that sitteth [2521] upon [1909] the throne [2362], and [2532] unto the Lamb [721] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
9 But [1161] we see [991] Jesus [2424], who [3588] was made [1642] a little [1024] [5100] lower [1642] than [3844] the angels [32] for [1223] the suffering [3804] of death [2288], crowned [4737] with glory [1391] and [2532] honour [5092]; that [3704] he [1089] by the grace [5485] of God [2316] should taste [1089] death [2288] for [5228] every man [3956].
24 Father [3962], I will [2309] that [2443] they also [2548], whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], be [5600] with [3326] me [1700] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510]; that [2443] they may behold [2334] my [1699] glory [1391], which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]: for [3754] thou lovedst [25] me [3165] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889].
5 And [2532] now [3568], O Father [3962], glorify [1392] thou [4771] me [3165] with [3844] thine own self [4572] with the glory [1391] which [3739] I had [2192] with [3844] thee [4671] before [4253] the world [2889] was [1511].
25 And the LORD [03068] magnified [01431] Solomon [08010] exceedingly [04605] in the sight [05869] of all Israel [03478], and bestowed [05414] upon him such royal [04438] majesty [01935] as had not been on any king [04428] before [06440] him in Israel [03478].
20 And thou shalt put [05414] some of thine honour [01935] upon him, that all the congregation [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] may be obedient [08085].
14 And [2532] the Word [3056] was made [1096] flesh [4561], and [2532] dwelt [4637] among [1722] us [2254], (and [2532] we beheld [2300] his [846] glory [1391], the glory [1391] as [5613] of the only begotten [3439] of [3844] the Father [3962],) full [4134] of grace [5485] and [2532] truth [225].
