The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:5-12

Redemption. I. CONFLICT RESULTING IN VICTORY . II. VICTORY RESULTING IN UNION . This does not always happen. There have been wars that have bred more wars, and victories that have left strong hates and bitter memories prolonged for generations. Besides, union may be based on defeat in the interest of the conqueror and not of the conquered; more formal than real, more a thing of covenants and legal fictions than the free choice of the people. But here it is real and... read more

Victory, unification, and blessedness for the good. "And they shall be as mighty men," etc. This paragraph is a continuation of the preceding portions of the chapter. The various statements bring under our notice subjects which, if we give them a spiritual application, are of great and permanent interest, viz. the subjects of victory, unification, and blessedness. I. VICTORY . "And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:6

House of Joseph; i.e. Israel, or the ten tribes, called Ephraim in the next verse (see note on Amos 5:6 ). Israel and Judah alike shall share in the contest and the victory, under the protection of God. I will bring them again to place them. This is one word in Hebrew, which may mean either "I bring them again," or "I make them dwell." The Authorized Version unwarrantably combines both significations. Septuagint, κατοικιῶ αὐτούς , "I will settle them;" Vulgate, convertam eos. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:6-12

The restoration of Israel. "And I will strengthen the house of Judah," etc. The separate mention in this passage ( Zechariah 10:6 , Zechariah 10:7 ) of Judah, Joseph, and Ephraim, taken together with that of Gilead, Lebanon, Egypt, and Assyria, in Zechariah 10:10 , Zechariah 10:11 , seems an indication that we now have to do especially with Israel "after the flesh." The previous verses spoke of "the times of the Gentiles," and of the great spiritual conquests to be inaugurated... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:7

They of Ephraim; i.e. as well as Judah, shall be heroes. Not many members of the northern kingdom returned at first from the Captivity; but the prophet gives the assurance that they shall come and prove themselves mighty warriors. As through wine. They shall hasten to the battle cheerfully and exultingly, like men refreshed and strengthened with wine (see Zechariah 9:15 ; Psalms 78:65 , Psalms 78:66 ). Their children shall see it. Though unable to participate in the struggle,... read more

I will him for them; σημανῶ αὐτοῖς ," I will signal to them"; sibilabo eis (Vulgate). The slightest summons will bring them when God wills the return of the dispersed. The "hissing" is the whistling or tinkling with which bees are allured to swarm ( Isaiah 5:26 ; Isaiah 7:18 , Isaiah 7:19 ). I have redeemed them. They were virtually delivered from captivity and exile, though all had not taken advantage of the deliverance. They shall increase as they have increased. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:9

I will sow them among the people ( peoples ). The "sowing" here does not mean scattering, but increase, and this was to go on while they were dispersed among the nations. The word is used in the same sense in Hosea 2:23 ; Jeremiah 31:27 . This continued dispersion was a part of their discipline, a test of their loyalty to God. They shall remember me. In the countries where they are living they shall worship the Lord and observe his Law, and be a witness for him among the heathen. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:9

The hand of God in Jewish history. I. IN THEIR LONG DESCENT . Origin of nations is generally obscure. As difficult to find as the source of the Nile. The Jews are like their own Jordan. They are the only people that can trace their descent. "Children of Abraham." Two friends were visiting the museum at Berlin. One said how strange it was to look at the intellectual features of Julius Caesar, and to think of his triumphal march northward when the Britons were but roving barbarians.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:10

Egypt … Assyria. It is certain that there was a large body of Jews in Egypt at this time ( Jeremiah 43:6 , Jeremiah 43:7 ); and to Assyria the ten tribes, who are here specially mentioned under the name Ephraim, had been deported. Besides this, Assyria is often used loosely for Western Asia or Babylonia, of which, after its submission, it formed a most important feature (see 2 Kings 23:29 ; Ezra 6:22 ; and in the Apocrypha, 1 Esdr. 7:15; Judith 1:7; 2:1). In the 'Oracula Sibyllina,'... read more
