Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I will sow them among the people, The people of God in the Gentile world: this is to be understood of the conversion of the Jews, when they will become the good seed that hear the word, and understand it, and bring forth fruit; and of their being known, acknowledged, and reckoned among the people of God, who now are not; and of their being planted in Gospel churches, where the word is truly preached; the ordinances are faithfully administered; the Lord grants his presence, and saints have communion one with another; to be in such a fruitful soil, and in such sacred enclosures, fenced by the power and grace of God, is a great happiness:
and they shall remember me in far countries; they shall call to mind what their ancestors did to Christ, and mourn on account of a pierced Saviour; they shall remember him in the ordinance of the supper, being in a Gospel church state; they shall remember what he did and suffered for them, and his love to them in all, and that with faith, affection, and thankfulness:
and they shall live with their children; a very happy, comfortable, temporal life; and they shall live a spiritual life; a life of faith on Christ; of communion with him, and of holiness from him, and to his glory: and their children also shall live the same life, being regenerated and quickened by the same grace; these are the church's children:
and turn again; that is, when they shall turn again, either to the Lord, shall be converted unto him; or return to their own land.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And I will sow them among the nations - Such had been the prophecy of Hosea; “I will sow her unto Me in the earth,” as the prelude of spiritual mercies, “and I will have mercy on her that had not obtained mercy, and I will say to not-my-people, Thou art My people, and they shall say, my God” . Hosea’s saying, “I will sow her in the earth” that is, the whole earth and that “to Me,” corresponds to, and explains Zechariah’s brief saying, “I will sow them among the nations.” The sowing, which was future to Hosea, had begun; but the purpose of the sowing, the harvest, was wholly to come; when it should be seen, that they were indeed sown by God, that “great” should “be the day of Jezreel” (Hosea 1:11. See vol. i. p. 25). And Jeremiah said, “Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah, with the seed of man and with the seed of beast” Jeremiah 31:27. The word is used of sowing to multiply, never of mere scattering .
And they shall remember Me in far countries - So Ezekiel had said, “And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations, whither they shall be carried captive - and they shall loath themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations, and they shall know that I am the Lord” Ezekiel 6:9.
And shall live - As Ezekiel again says, “Ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and bring you up out of your graves, O My people, and shall put My Spirit in you, and ye shall live” Ezekiel 37:13-14. “With their children.” A continuous gift, as Ezekiel, “they and their children, and their children’s children forever: and My servant David shall be their prince forever.” Ezekiel 37:25.
And turn again - To God, being converted, as Jeremiah had been bidden to exhort them; “Go and proclaim these words toward the north” Jeremiah 3:12, the cities of the Medes whither they were carried captive, “and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, and I will not cause Mine anger to fall upon you;” “Turn, O backsliding children - and I with take you, one of a city, and two of a family, and will bring you to Zion, and I will give you pastors according to Mine heart” Jeremiah 3:14-15. “Return, ye backsliding children; I will heal your backslidings.” And they answer, “Behold, we come unto Thee; for Thou art the Lord our God” Jeremiah 3:22. So Isaiah had said, “A remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God” . Dionysius: “They shall return by recollection of mind and adunation and simplification of the affections toward God so as ultimately to intend that one thing, which alone is necessary.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 10:9. I will sow them among the people — Wherever they have been dispersed, my voice in the preaching of the Gospel shall reach them. And they shall remember me, and they and their children shall turn again to the Lord, through Messiah their King.
