Zechariah 9:10

I will cut off Like Himself and His advent shall the character of His kingdom be. Not by weapons of earthly warfare shall it be established. As a kingdom of peace it shall cover the widest extent of the promised land, and thence extend over all the heathen nations of the world. Compare Isaiah's prophecy (Zechariah 9:4-6): "for every greave of the warrior tramping with noise, and every (military) cloak rolled in blood shall be consigned to burning as fuel of fire. For unto us a Child is born … and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called … the Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end."

from Ephraim The use of this name to denote the ten tribes (comp. Zechariah 9:13 and Zechariah 10:7) is not, as has been alleged, conclusive as to the ante-captivity date of this part of this Book. It is true that the name is not so used in "acknowledged post-captivity writings," but it does not follow that because a writer so uses it, he is not a post-captivity writer. In chap. Zechariah 8:13 of this Book, which is confessedly written after the captivity, the "house of Judah" and the "house of Israel" are distinguished. And in a prophecy during the captivity, and why not therefore in one after it? the ten tribes are distinguished from the two by this very name of Ephraim. Ezekiel 37:15-28.

from sea even to sea, &c. Identical with Psalms 72:8, where Dean Perowne quotes Pusey (Daniel, p. 480), "From the Mediterranean, their Western boundary, to the encircling sea beyond Asia's utmost verge; and from their Eastern boundary, the river, the Euphrates, unto the ends of the earth," and adds, "But perhaps we have only a poetical expression, not to be construed into the prose of geography, or to be explained (as by Rashi and others) as indicating the extent of territory laid down in Exodus 23:31."
