Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 9:11

"As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water.""The blood of thy covenant ..." This is one of the most beautiful passages in the Old Testament. Whatever the "blood of thy covenant" under the law of Moses was, Jesus Christ our Lord told the faithful and righteous remnant of Israel in the city of Jerusalem (his holy apostles), "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto the remission of sins"... read more

"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

"For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.""Judah ... Ephraim ..." The use of these words that stand for the pre-exilic kingdoms of northern and southern Israel should not be understood as a promise of God that the old secular states of Israel would again appear and be reunited under a Davidic ruler. Such a gross misunderstanding is refuted by everything in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 9:11

Zechariah 9:11. It is more than probable, that the remaining part of this prophesy, to the end of the next chapter, relates to matters of which the time is not yet come. It is but reasonable to presume, that as the prediction follows that of the Messiah's coming, the accomplishment was meant to take place in the same order of succession. But since the time of our Saviour's appearance on earth nothing has happened to the Jewish nation in any degree answerable to what is here predicted; no return... read more

Zechariah 9:13. Greece— That Javan, or Ion (for the Hebrew word יון may be sounded either way, accordingly as it is differently pointed) means Greece, anciently Ionia, having its name from Javan, or Ion, the son of Japhet, and grandson of Noah, is sufficiently made appear in Bochart. Geograph. Sacra, lib. iii. c. 3. And by the sons of Javan or Greece are most probably meant here the same enemies of Israel, whose destruction is foretold, Ezekiel 38:0; Ezekiel 39:0 under the names of Gog and... read more

11. As for thee also—that is, the daughter of Zion," or "Jerusalem" ( :-): the theocracy. The "thee also," in contradistinction to Messiah spoken of in :-, implies that besides cutting off the battle-bow and extending MESSIAH'S "dominion to the ends of the earth," God would also deliver for her her exiled people from their foreign captivity. by the blood of thy covenant—that is, according to the covenant vouchsafed to thee on Sinai, and ratified by the blood of sacrifices (Exodus 24:8; Hebrews... read more

12. stronghold—in contrast to the "pit" (Zechariah 9:11); literally, "a place cut off from access." MAURER thinks, "a height" (Zechariah 9:11- :).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 9:11

As for the Israelites (Zion), the Lord promised to set free those of them whom their enemies would hold prisoner. He pictured this as taking them out of a dry cistern where they were captives, like Joseph and Jeremiah (Genesis 37:24; Jeremiah 38:6-9)."God’s people had been in the ’pit’ of Babylonian exile, but they would find themselves in a worse predicament in the end of the age. From that pit God would again retrieve them according to His faithfulness to His covenant promises." [Note:... read more
