‏ 1 Kings 22:17

22:17  a Like God himself (Ps 23  b; Isa 40:10-11  c), Israel’s kings and leaders were charged with care of the people much as a shepherd cares for his sheep (Num 27:16-17  d; Ezek 34:2  e, 11-16  f). The motif of the shepherd and the sheep, applied to the coming Messiah (Ezek 34:23-24  g), was fulfilled in Christ the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-11  h). Although he laid down his life for the sheep (John 10:14-18  i; 1 Pet 2:24-25  j), he still lives (Heb 13:20  k) and will come again for them (1 Pet 5:4  l).
