The words of the Text fall under the first of these particulars, viz. The prediction it self. And for the opening and clearing of the words, three things may be enquired into; 1. Who are meant by Israel. 2. What by all Israel. 3. What by being saved. Q▪ 1. Who are here meant by Israel: Ans. 1. Israel many times in the Scripture is put for those ten Tribes which revolted from the house of David unto Jeroboam in the days of Rehoboam. The ten Tribes are often called Samaria, the denomination being from the Metropolis, Isa. 7.9. And Ephraim, because the first King over the ten Tribes was an Ephraimite, 1 Kings 11.26. But mostly they are called by the name of Israel, the denomination being from the major part: For the ten Tribes were the greater part of Israels posterity, and therefore after the ten Tribes became a distinct kingdom, he that was King of them is styled, The King of Israel, as the King over the two remaining Tribes is styled King of Judah.

Israel many times in the Scripture is put for those ten Tribes which revolted from the house of David unto Ieroboam in the dayes of Rehoboam. The ten Tribes are often called Samaria, the denomination being from the Metropolis, Isa. 7.9. And Ephraim, because the first King over the ten Tribes was an Ephraimite, 1 Kings 11.26. But mostly they are called by the name of Israel, the denomination being from the major part: For the ten Tribes were the greater part of Israels posterity, and therefore after the ten Tribes became a distinct kingdom, he that was King of them is stiled, The King of Israel, as the King over the two remaining Tribes is stiled King of Iudah.
