Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 33:22

_ _ (Genesis 15:5; Genesis 22:17). The blessing there promised belonged to all the tribes; here it is restricted to the family of David and the tribe of Levi, because it was on these that the welfare of the whole people rested. When the kingdom and priesthood flourish in the person of Messiah, the whole nation shall temporally and spiritually prosper.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 33:17-26.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 33:22

Of David — Christ is himself called David, whose seed and whose Levites are multiplied in the multiplying of Christians and of faithful ministers under the gospel, which are the things here promised.
