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 9:16

"And Jehovah their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted on high over his land.""Difficult as these words are in Hebrew, the thought is clear. God will make His people glorious."[41]"God will save them in that day ..." This has reference to the forgiveness of sins in the dispensation of Christ under the terms of the New Covenant. The BIG DEAL that God has for his children is not that of conquest over their physical enemies,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 9:16

Zechariah 9:16. For they shall be as the stones of a crown— Or rather, as consecrated stones. Both single stones, and heaps of stones set up by way of memorial, are frequently spoken of; and these might well be called נזר עבני abnei nezer, as being separated, set apart, or consecrated to a particular use. Thus we read that Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon it. Genesis 28:18. And twelve such stones were pitched in memory of the passage through Jordan. Joshua... read more

16. save them . . . as the flock of his people—as the flock of His people ought to be saved ( :-). Here the image of war and bloodshed ( :-) is exchanged for the shepherd and flock, as God will give not only victory, but afterwards safe and lasting peace.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 9:15-16

The Lord would defend Israel and would cause His people to be victorious over their enemies. The death of these enemies would be a sacrifice to Him. However, the Israelites would experience deliverance and victory, like a flock of sheep protected by their Shepherd. They would be precious and beautiful in the Lord’s land, as jewels in a crown as they circled Jerusalem’s hills. They would trample on the sling stones (Zechariah 9:15) used in warfare and would become precious stones in the King’s... 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
