Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 10:4

_ _ Out of himJudah is to be no more subject to foreigners, but from itself shall come its rulers.

_ _ the corner — stone, Messiah (Isaiah 28:16). “Corners” simply express governors (1 Samuel 14:38, Margin; Isaiah 19:13, Margin). The Maccabees, Judah’s governors and deliverers from Antiochus the oppressor, are primarily meant; but Messiah is the Antitype. Messiah supports and binds together the Church, Jews and Gentiles.

_ _ the nail — (Judges 4:21; Isaiah 22:23). The large peg inside an Oriental tent, on which is hung most of its valuable furniture. On Messiah hang all the glory and hope of His people.

_ _ bow — (Zechariah 9:13). Judah shall not need foreign soldiery. Messiah shall be her battle-bow (Psalms 45:4, Psalms 45:5; Revelation 6:2).

_ _ every oppressor — rather, in a good sense, ruler, as the kindred Ethiopic term means. So “exactor,” in Isaiah 60:17, namely, one who exacts the tribute from the nations made tributary to Judah [Ludovicus De Dieu].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 10:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 10:4

Out of him — From God. The corner — The prince or ruler, who is in a polity as a corner — stone in buildings. The nail — Which fastens the tents of war, or the timber together in a house. The battle bow — All warlike provision. Every oppressor — Or collector of tribute. It was from God that Nebuchadnezzar mightily prevailed, and opprest Israel; and it is from God also, that Judah grows up to such power, as to be able to cope with his adversaries, and to impose tribute on them.
