Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 6:3

_ _ white — implying joy and victory [Calvin].

_ _ grizzled — piebald. Implying a mixed dispensation, partly prosperity, partly adversity. All four dispensations, though various in character to the Gentile nation, portended alike good to God’s people.

_ _ bay — rather, “strong” or “fleet”; so Vulgate [Gesenius]. The horses have this epithet, whose part it was to “walk to and fro through the earth” (Zechariah 6:7). However, the Septuagint and Chaldee agree with English Version in referring the Hebrew to color, not strength.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 6:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 6:3

White horses — Signifying joyful and prosperous affairs, Zechariah 1:8. Grisled — A mixt state of affairs.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 6:3

And in the third chariot (e) white horses; and in the fourth chariot (f) spotted and bay horses.

(e) These represented their state under the Persians, who restored them to their liberty.

(f) Which signified that God would sometimes give his Church rest, and pour his plagues upon their enemies, as he did in destroying Nineveh and Babylon, and other of their enemies.
