George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Ezekiel 37:24

David; Christ, the one shepherd, (John x.) over all nations. (Worthington) --- This cannot refer to Zorobabel, who was never king, nor perhaps even governor; as Sasabasar, who seems to have been a Persian, was appointed by Cyrus, 1 Esdras i. 8. --- Shepherd. David have been one. (Calmet) --- This title is more modest than that of king. (St. Jerome)
