Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 2:9

_ _ shake ... hand — A mere wave of God’s hand can prostrate all foes (compare Ruth 1:13; Job 31:21; Isaiah 11:15; Isaiah 19:16; Acts 13:11).

_ _ a spoil to their servants — to the Jews whom they had once as their slaves (compare Isaiah 14:2). As the Jews’ state between the return from Babylon and Christ’s coming was checkered with much adversity, this prophecy can only have its fulfillment under Christ.

_ _ sent me — (Isaiah 48:16; Isaiah 61:1; John 10:36).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 2:6-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 2:9

Upon them — Against the nation that doth violence to my people. Unto their servants — Unto the Jews, who were first spoiled by, and then made servants to them. Hath sent me — To inform them of my father's will.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 2:9

For, behold, I will shake my hand (l) upon them, and (m) they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath (n) sent me.

(l) Upon the heathen your enemies.

(m) They will be your servants, as you have been theirs.

(n) This must necessarily be understood of Christ, who being God equal with his Father, was sent, as he was Mediator to dwell in his Church and to govern them.
