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).
