The Two Sticks: Unity of Israel and the Davidic Covenant

Ezekiel 37:15-28

Chapter 37
15 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 16 And you, son of man, take one stick and write on it, "For Judah and for the sons of Israel his companions." And take another stick and write on it, "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel his companions." 17 And bring them near, one to one, to you as one tree, and they will be as one in your hand. 18 And when the sons of your people say to you, "What are these things to you?" will you not tell us? 19 Speak to them: This is what the Lord GOD says: Look, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel his companions, and I will put them with the stick of Judah, and you shall make them one stick, and they shall be one in your hand. 20 And the sticks that you write on will be in your hand before their eyes. 21 And speak to them, "Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from all around, and I will bring them to their land." 22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. One king will be king to all of them, and they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided into two kingdoms anymore. 23 And they will not defile themselves anymore with their idols and with their abominations and with all their transgressions, and I will save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I will purify them, and they will be my people, and I will be their God. 24 And my servant David will be king over them, and he will be one shepherd to them all. And they will walk in my judgments, and they will keep my statutes, and they will do them. 25 And they will dwell on the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, on which your fathers dwelt. And they will dwell on it—they and their sons and their sons' sons forever. And David my servant will be a ruler to them forever. 26 And I will cut for them a covenant of peace, a covenant of eternity; it will be for them, and I will give them and multiply them, and I will give my sanctuary in their midst forever. 27 And my Tabernacle will be with them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. 28 And the nations will know that I, the LORD, am the one sanctifying Israel when my sanctuary is in their midst forever.
