Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 12:8

_ _ Jerusalem, however, also shall be specially strengthened against the foe.

_ _ feeble ... shall be as David — to the Jew, the highest type of strength and glory on earth (2 Samuel 17:8; 2 Samuel 18:3; Joel 3:10).

_ _ angel of the Lord before them — the divine angel that went “before them” through the desert, the highest type of strength and glory in heaven (Exodus 23:20; Exodus 32:34). “The house of David” is the “prince,” and his family sprung from David (Ezekiel 45:7, Ezekiel 45:9). David’s house was then in a comparatively weak state.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 12:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 12:8

As David — A mighty man of valour. The house of David — Those of the royal line shall be for prudence, and prowess in the conduct of the armies of Israel, most excellent; exprest here in an hyperbole. As the angel — Nay, like the angel of the Lord, like Christ who is captain of our salvation.
