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 9:14

"And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south. Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour and tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar."This whole passage is a prophecy spoken in the terminology of carnal warfare; but the prophecy pertains absolutely... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 9:13-14

Yahweh, as the divine Warrior, would use Israel as a weapon to subdue the Gentiles. Judah would be His bow, and Ephraim would be His arrow. He was in complete command of Israel’s affairs. He would come against the nations like an army called to advance with a trumpet and like a strong southern storm (cf. Exodus 24:9-10; Exodus 24:15; Exodus 24:18). This verse saw initial, partial fulfillment when the Jews overthrew the Greeks during the Maccabean revolts in the second century B.C. But final,... 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
