Read Zechariah 21.1-9. In 12.1-9: Judah defeats the nations. This text like ch. 9, describes Judah's defense against its neighboring nations. In verse 1: The title An oracle marks the beginning of the second collection of speeches in chs. 9-14. In verse 2: The cup of reeling, a traditional image of judgment, renders the enemy drunk and senseless (Isa 51.17-22). In verse 6: The flaming torch, another traditional image of judgment, consumes the enemy, pictured as sheaves or stubble (Ob 18). In verse 7: The house of David refers to a revival of the Davidic dynasty which ruled from Jerusalem before its fall in 587 BCE. Comments or Questions..
