Zechariah 9:12-17

ZECHARIAH—NOTE ON Zechariah 9:12 The prisoners of war are not the only ones who need to hear the news of the coming king. The day is coming when God will make his people themselves into a weapon against their captors (v. Zechariah 9:13). As the Divine Warrior, the Lord will conquer his people’s oppressors in dramatic fashion (vv. Zechariah 9:13). By destroying their enemies, he will rescue his people and shepherd his flock (v. Zechariah 9:16). As his treasured possession, they will never again go hungry and thirsty. They will receive the covenantal blessings of grain and new wine (v. Zechariah 9:17).
