Saying, blessed be the King, etc.] The King Messiah, the King of Israel, the son of David, the Christ of God; so the Ethiopic version adds, “blessed be the King of Israel”; they sung their “Hosannas” to him, as the other evangelists say: that cometh in the name of the Lord; (see Gill on “<402109>Matthew 21:9”) peace in heaven; all heavenly peace and prosperity attend him; or let peace be made with God in heaven, by the Prince of Peace on earth, for sinful men: and glory in the highest; glory be given to God for peace, life, and salvation by his son; and that in the highest heavens, by the angels there, as well as by men on earth, and in the highest notes and strains.
