Zechariah 9:12. Turn you to the strong hold To Zion, to the church of God, the strong city, mentioned Isaiah 26:1, which has salvation for walls and bulwarks; to the name of the Lord, which is a strong tower, his mercy, truth, and grace: ye that are under any bondage or oppression, any trouble or distress, do not despair, be not discouraged, but apply to and rely upon the blood of the new covenant; hasten to Christ, through whose blood alone you can have redemption, reconciliation, peace,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Zechariah 9:1-17

9:1-14:21 THE TRIUMPH OF THE MESSIAHIsrael always looked forward to a messianic day of glory and power. The people longed for the day when all enemies would be destroyed, and righteousness would be established in the land under the rule of the Messiah. The nation’s re-establishment under Zerubbabel and Joshua was a foretaste of that great day. Israel could expect to see its former enemies conquered and full independence restored in its land.This in fact happened. The years 334-326 BC saw the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 9:12

"Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee."See under Zechariah 9:12, discussed in the chapter introduction."I will render double ..." This speaks of the rich reward of those who suffer shame or hardship for the work of God. Isaiah wrote of the same thing: "Instead of your shame, ye shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion" (Isaiah 61:7)."Prisoners of hope ..." is a reference to all who... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 9:12

The Lord called these former Israelite prisoners of the nations who were now free to return to their Stronghold, namely, Himself (cf. Psalms 18:2; Psalms 31:3; Psalms 71:3; Psalms 91:2; Psalms 144:2; Jeremiah 16:19; Nahum 1:7). He Himself promised to restore to them double of what He had allowed their enemy to take from them (cf. Job 42:10). A double restoration of joy pictures a complete restoration (by metonymy; cf. Job 42:12-13; Isaiah 40:2; Isaiah 51:19; Isaiah 61:7). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Zechariah 9:9-17

(9-17) The advent of the king. It has been urged as an objection against the post-exilic authorship of this passage that “Ephraim” and “Jerusalem” are mentioned, as though Israel were still separated from Judah. But, on the contrary, Ephraim and Jerusalem are here strictly parallel terms, as are also “Judah” and “Ephraim” (Zechariah 9:13), where both are represented as equally opposed to the sons of Javan. The nation was now one (Ezekiel 37:22) and known by the names of “Israel” (Zechariah... read more

(12) Strong hold.—Better, steepness of their own land. Those who still remained in Babylon are exhorted to come forth. Somewhat similarly, in Zechariah 8:8 (which is on all sides admitted to be written after the return from the captivity) we read: “And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.” They are “prisoners of hope,” being prisoners still in Babylon, and “of hope,” because, if... read more
