From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Behold, these shall come from far -That is, one part shall come from a distant land, and another from the north and west. This is a statement of the fulfillment of the promise made to himIsaiah 49:6-7, that he should be for a light to the Gentiles, and that kings and princes should rise up and honor him. The words ‘from far,’ denote a distant land, without specifying the particular direction from which they would come. The most distant nations should embrace his religion, and submit to him. Lowth and Seeker understand it of Babylon; Grotius of the East, that is, Persia, and the other countries east of Judea.
