Instead of serving strangers (Jer 30:8), they shall serve the Lord, their rightful King in the theocracy (Eze 21:27). David, their king--No king of David's seed has held the scepter since the captivity; for Zerubbabel, though of David's line, never claimed the title of "king." The Son of David, Messiah, must therefore be meant; so the Targum (compare Isa 55:3-4; Eze 34:23-24; Eze 37:24; Hos 3:5; Rom 11:25-32). He was appointed to the throne of David (Isa 9:7; Luk 1:32). He is here joined with Jehovah as claiming equal allegiance. God is our "King," only when we are subject to Christ; God rules us not immediately, but through His Son (Joh 5:22-23, Joh 5:27). raise up--applied to the judges whom God raised up as deliverers of Israel out of the hand of its oppressors (Jdg 2:16; Jdg 3:9). So Christ was raised up as the antitypical Deliverer (Psa 2:6; Luk 1:69; Act 2:30; Act 13:23).
