F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Zechariah 10:1-12

a Lowly Deliverer Brings Peace Zechariah 9:9-17 ; Zechariah 10:1-12 Jesus must be King first, then Savior. He is lowly; His steed is not the richly caparisoned warhorse, but the humble ass; He needs no weapon to overthrow His foes, because as Priest He speaks peace. The peasantry had taken shelter in the rock hewn mountain cisterns; but they might cherish hope, because they had been redeemed by the blood of the covenant, and God would see to it that that redemption was made effective.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 10:1-12

This victory led him to describe the yet greater and final victory of the people of God. He introduced this description by appealing to Zion to ask help of Jehovah, and immediately declaring Jehovah's intention to accomplish their deliverance. As a result, the people would be strengthened. Finally, speaking in the name of Jehovah, the prophet described Jehovah's regathering of the people. "I will hiss for them . . . I will sow them . . . I will bring them out . . . I will bring them into . .... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:2-12

God’s Anger At False Shepherds Who Lead His People Astray, But God will Ensure The Coming Restoration (Zechariah 10:2-12 ). The picture now changes for a moment. If God is so powerful why are His people in their present straits? And the answer lies in whom they are listening to. The theme of Zechariah, as of all the prophets, is the present wrong and the future hope. The future may be filled with hope but at present God’s people are unresponsive and disobedient, ill taught and badly led. They... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:3-12

Zechariah 10:3-2 Kings : . This is made up of several fragments. Zechariah 10:3 a is apparently the beginning of a denunciation of Israel’ s leaders founded upon Ezekiel 34, whereas Zechariah 10:3 b describes the Lord as visiting His distressed sheep, and making them as his warhorse. The cue which has caused Zechariah 10:3 b to be attached to Zechariah 10:3 a is the word “ visit,” which the EV renders “ punish” in the first instance. The Jewish sheep became warhorses in the Maccabean... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 10:3

Mine anger was kindled; though it was justly kindled against all, yet it was more hot and fierce against the chief sinners among them. Against the shepherds; officers in church and state, who neglected to keep the flock from straying, who were ringleaders in idolatry and soothsaying. I punished the goats; the wanton, lustful, and petulant officers among them, which, like he-goats, push. and wound, and trample under foot the feebler cattle, as Ezekiel 34:16,Ezekiel 34:17; these were more... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:1-12

Chapter 10Now in this Kingdom Age, the promises of the Lord:Ask ye the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, the diviners have seen a lie, and they have told false dreams; they have comforted in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled because there was no shepherd. My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Zechariah 10:1-12

Zechariah 10:1 . Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain, as stated in Deuteronomy 11:14. This rain fed the plant and made the harvest luxuriant. This chapter is therefore a continuation of the preseding, which describes the young men and maids in the fullest joys of rural labour, threshing the corn, and pressing the grapes. For the harvest shall then last to the vintage, and the vintage to the seedtime, as Joel says, in Joel 3:18; and thus the seasons shall give each other... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Zechariah 10:3

Zec 10:3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Ver. 3. Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds ] Pastores Impostores; the greedy priests and false prophets, main causes of the captivity; because through their default there was no knowledge nor fear of God in the land, Isaiah 5:13 Hos 4:6-7 Jer 23:1 Ezekiel 34:1 . And I punished the... read more
