"He will live; and Sheba’s gold will be given to him. Men will pray for him continually. They will bless him all day long."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of enduring life and prosperity, suggesting that the righteous ruler or one favored by God will not only live but also be blessed with wealth and continual prayers and blessings from others, symbolizing both material abundance and spiritual favor.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

There shall be an handful of corn - “Of grain,” for so the word means in the Scriptures. The “general” idea in this verse is plain. It is, that, in the time of the Messiah, there would be an ample supply of the fruits of the earth; or that his reign would tend to the promotion of prosperity, industry, abundance. It would be as if fields of grain waved everywhere, even on the tops of mountains, or as if the hills were cultivated to the very summit, so that the whole land would be covered over with waving, smiling harvests.
