Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 12:4

_ _ I will smite ... horse — The arm of attack especially formidable to Judah, who was unprovided with cavalry. So in the overthrow of Pharaoh (Exodus 15:19, Exodus 15:21).

_ _ open mine eyes upon ... Judah — to watch over Judah’s safety. Heretofore Jehovah seemed to have shut His eyes, as having no regard for her.

_ _ blindness — so as to rush headlong on to their own ruin (compare Zechariah 14:12, Zechariah 14:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 12:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 12:4

I will open mine eyes — I will watch over my people for good. This eye of God open upon his people, is his wise, powerful, gracious providence for them. With blindness — All their warriors in their consults shall have as little of foresight, as a blind man hath of sight.
