From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For the seed shall be peace -o“Your seed shall be peace and a blessing, so that they will call it ‘a seed of peace.’” The unusual construction is perhaps adopted, in order to suggest a further meaning. It is a reversal of the condition, just spoken of, when there was “no peace to him that went, or to him that returned.” The vine shall give her fruit and the ground shall give her increase -The old promise in the law on obedienceLeviticus 26:4, as the exact contrary was threatened on disobedienceLeviticus 26:20. It had been revived in the midst of promise of spiritual blessing and of the coming of Christ, in EzekielEzekiel 34:27.
