Zechariah 12:2
_ _ cup of trembling — a cup causing those who drink it to reel (from a Hebrew root “to reel”). Jerusalem, who drank the “cup of trembling” herself, shall be so to her foes (Isaiah 51:17, Isaiah 51:22; Jeremiah 13:13). Calvin with the Septuagint translates, “threshold of destruction,” on which they shall stumble and be crushed when they attempt to cross it. English Version is better.
_ _ both against Judah — The Hebrew order of words is literally, “And also against Judah shall he (the foe) be in the siege against Jerusalem”; implying virtually that Judah, as it shares the invasion along with Jerusalem, so it shall, like the metropolis, prove a cup of trembling to the invaders. Maurer with Jerome translates, “Also upon Judah shall be (the cup of trembling); that is, some Jews forced by the foe shall join in the assault on Jerusalem, and shall share the overthrow with the besiegers. But Zechariah 12:6, Zechariah 12:7 show that Judah escapes and proves the scourge of the foe. |
Zechariah 12:2
Jerusalem — That weak, unwalled city, and much more the church which is the antitype of Jerusalem. In the siege — Now when all this is in readiness, and no visible means of escape, then will God make them drink the wine of astonishment. |
Zechariah 12:2
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a (b) cup of trembling to all the people around, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah [and] against Jerusalem.
(b) Jerusalem will be defended against all her enemies: so will God defend all Judah also, and will destroy the enemies. |
