Zec 12:6 In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 12:1-9

Marvelous deliverance of Judah and Jerusalem, Zechariah 12:1-9. The prophet beholds the nations of the earth gathered around Jerusalem to besiege it; Jehovah smites them with terror.

Jehovah saves the tents of Judah first, to prevent the inhabitants of Jerusalem from magnifying themselves above Judah, but he... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 12:1-14

VARIOUS UTTERANCES CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF ISRAEL, Zechariah 12:1 to Zechariah 14:21. The heading (Zechariah 12:1) names the subject of these utterances, Israel, a term used here not in a national but in a religious sense of the people of Jehovah.

6. Jehovah will use the forces of Judah to complete the defeat of the nations. Governors As in Zechariah 12:5. Like an hearth Better, R.V., “like a pan.” Judah will utterly destroy the hostile nations as fire devours wood or dry sheaves. Jerusalem shall be inhabited again R.V., more literally, “shall yet again dwell in their own place.” If the last clause, “even in Jerusalem,” is original, the name is used first of the inhabitants, then of the city. The inhabitants shall again dwell in... read more
