Verse 3

Yahweh would then take the role of the divine warrior and fight for His people Israel (cf. Zechariah 1:3; Zechariah 9; Zechariah 10:4-5; Zechariah 12:1-9). He had done this previously in the Exodus and on numerous other occasions (cf. Exodus 14:13-14; Joshua 10:14; Joshua 23:3; Judges 4:15; 2 Chronicles 20:15).

"In their quest for world peace, some denominations have removed the ’militant songs’ from their hymnals, so that a new generation is growing up knowing nothing about ’fighting the good fight of faith’ or worshiping a Savior who will one day meet the nations of the world in battle (Revelation 19:11-21)." [Note: Wiersbe, p. 471.]

"The actual order of events in this day peculiarly the Lord’s is: (1) the nations assembled to war against Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:2); (2) the city captured and plundered, etc. (Zechariah 14:2); (3) the spoil of the city divided within its walls (Zechariah 14:1); (4) the Lord’s intervention (Zechariah 14:3)." [Note: Unger, p. 245.]
