Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 65:10

10 And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks and the Valley of Achor , a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me .

Sharon was a place of great fruitfulness for pastures. Davids herds were kept there, 1 Chron. 27. 29. It was become like a wilderness, Isaiah 33. 9. God here promis[illegible: 1+ letters]th that it should again be a place for the flocks. So Ier. 31. 27. God promised to sow again the house of Iudah, with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.

The Valley of Achor had its name from the stoning of Achan there, Iosh. 7. 26. It is thought to have been the first place the Jews set foot in when they had passed Iordan, hence Hos. 2. 14. God promised to make it a door of hope, and here the text saith, the flocks should lie down.

But lest the wicked idolatrous Jews should apply this promise to themselves, God limiteth it in the last words to the people that had sought him, that is, that had truly worshipped him, according to his own institution, and that the words have the force of such a limitation, appeareth from what followeth.
