Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Many shall rejoice at his birth. The gladness which his boy's birth was to bring with it was to be no mere private family rejoicing. The child of his old age, who was to be born, would be the occasion of a true national joy.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Many shall rejoice.--The words point to what had been the priest's prayer. He had been seeking the joy of many rather than his own, and now the one was to be fruitful in the other.
