Geneva Study Bible - Zechariah 9:9

9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh to thee: {m} he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a {n} donkey, and upon a colt the foal of a donkey.(m) That is, he has righteousness and salvation in himself for the use and benefit of his Church.(n) Which declares that they should not look for such a king as would be glorious in the eyes of man, but should be poor, and yet in himself have all power to deliver his own: and... read more

9:10 And I will cut off the {o} chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the nations: and his dominion [shall be] from {p} sea to sea, and from the {q} river to the ends of the earth.(o) No power of man or creature will be able to stop this kingdom of Christ, and he will peaceably govern them by his word.(p) That is, from the Red Sea, to the Sea called Syriacum: and by these places which the Jews knew, he meant an... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Zechariah 9:11

9:11 {r} As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy {s} prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.(r) Meaning Jerusalem, or the Church which is saved by the blood of Christ, of which the blood of the sacrifices was a figure. And it is here called the covenant of the Church, because God made it with his Church: and left it with them because of the love that he had for them.(s) God shows that he will deliver his Church out of all dangers, no matter how great they... read more

9:12 Turn ye to the {t} strong hold, ye {u} prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare [that] I will render {x} double to thee;(t) That is, into the holy land where the city and the temple are, where God will defend you.(u) Meaning the faithful, who seemed to be in danger of their enemies on every side, and yet lived in hope that God would restore them to liberty.(x) That is, double benefits and prosperity, in respect of that which your fathers enjoyed from David’s time to the captivity. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 9:1-17

Syria, Tyre and Philistia to Fall Under Judgment (vv. 1-8) Beginning with this chapter the book of Zechariah has a distinctly different character. No dates are mentioned as in the first section of the book (chapters 1 to 8), and no more visions are found. Zechariah 9:1 gives the emphasis of all the remaining chapters, "the burden of the Word of the Lord." The word burden has the thought of a weight heavy to bear, for God is bringing His displeasure to bear on mankind, and He intends people... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Zechariah 9:1-17

END THE AGE , OPEN THE MILLENNIUM It was stated that the first part of the book, chapters 1-8, referred chiefly, though not entirely, to the prophet’s own time. The basis of all the prophecies in that part had a historical relation to the period then present. They were uttered, to encourage the people in rebuilding the temple. And yet there is not one of them that did not take cognizance of the far future. The discourses of this, the second part, deal almost entirely with the future. It... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 9:9

¶ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Had we any doubt to whom these words refer, the Evangelists would at once remove it. Never surely was there ever a description more pointed, or one more circumstantially fulfilled. See Matthew 21:5 , etc. and John 12:15 , &c But taking the fact itself as a thing unquestioned, what I beg... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 9:10

And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. Here is another blessed description of character belonging to our Jesus. His kingdom is not set up with sword or battle bow; but yet of the extent of his government and kingdom there shall be no end. Malachi 1:11 ; Psalms 72:8 . to the end. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Zechariah 9:11

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. How sweetly, and blessedly, is God the Father here speaking to God the Son, in his Almighty character, as Mediator. And how fully is this promise answered, in the instance of every poor sinner whom the Lord makes willing in the day of his power. Jehovah then remembers his everlasting covenant, and Jesus then receives the reward of his services, as Jehovah's servant in that... read more
