Read Zechariah 9.9-17. In verse 9: While God may be referred to as king in late prophetic literature (Zeph3.14-15), a human king reviving the Davidic dynasty may be intended here (Jer 23.5-6; Hag 2.20-23). The Davidic king from the tribe of Judah referred to in Gen 49.10-11 is pictured with a donkey, the traditional transportation for gods and kings in antiquity. In verse 10: Ephraim Isa name for the northern kingdom of Israel (Hos 5.5). International peace is a typical element in visions of the future (Mic 4.3-4). In verse 11: The exilic prophet Second Isaiah also combines God's remembrance of the covenant with God's liberation of he exiles (Isa 42.6-7). In verse 13 Greece (Heb., "Javan") is one of the lands to which Judeans were exiled (Isa 66.18-20; Joel 3.6). Comments or Questions..
