Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel,.... The land of Judah, which was very mountainous, at least one part of it, called the hill country, Luke 1:39 and now the country being cleared of men through the captivity, and other desolating judgments, there were none but bare mountains to speak unto: or, "prophesy concerning the mountains of Israel" d; the inhabitants of them, or those that should be restored to them, concerning their future happiness and comfort: some render it, "against the mountains of Israel" e; but the later prophecies of them are in their favour, and not against them:
and say, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; concerning the destruction of their enemies, and concerning the temporal blessings that should be bestowed on them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXVI
The Edomites or Idumeans, during the Babylonish captivity, took
possession of the mountainous parts of Judea, and the
fortresses which commanded the country, intending to exclude
the Jews if ever they should return from their captivity. The
prophet therefore, by a beautiful personification, addresses
the mountains of Israel; and, ascribing to them passions and
emotions similar to those of his own breast, consoles them with
the prospect of being soon rid of those usurping foes; of being
freed from the dishonour of idols under which they groaned; and
of flourishing again in their ancient glory under their
rightful owners, 1-15.
The idolatry and other sins of the Jews are then declared to be
the cause of their captivity and dispersion, 16-20;
from which however they are promised a deliverance in terms of
great force and beauty, 21-38.
This chapter contains also, under the type of the happy
condition of the Israelites after their restoration from the
Babylonish captivity, a glorious prophecy of the rich blessings
of the Gospel dispensation.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXVI
Verse Ezekiel 36:1. Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel — This is a part of the preceding prophecy though it chiefly concerns the Jews. In it they are encouraged to expect a glorious restoration; and that none of the evil wishes of their adversaries should take place against them.
