Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 9:10

_ _ (Isaiah 2:4; Hosea 2:18; Micah 5:10).

_ _ Ephraim ... Jerusalem — the ten tribes, and Judah and Benjamin; both alike to be restored hereafter.

_ _ speak peace — command it authoritatively.

_ _ dominion ... from sea ... river ... ends of ... earth — fulfilling Genesis 15:18; Exodus 23:31; and Psalms 72:8. “Sea ... sea,” are the Red Sea and Mediterranean. The “river” is the Euphrates. Jerusalem and the Holy Land, extended to the limits promised to Abraham, are to be the center of His future dominion; whence it will extend to the remotest parts of the earth.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 9:9-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 9:10

I will cut off — When the Messiah comes and sets up his kingdom, he will need no external force. Neither chariot, bow nor sword, brought salvation to him, neither shall they be mentioned in the day of his conquest. The heathen — The Heathens through him shall be reconciled unto God, and one another, Ephesians 2:17. From the river — From Euphrates to the utmost end of Canaan, to the Mediterranean sea; a type of all the world, which was in due time to be the inheritance of Christ.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

(o) No power of man or creature will be able to stop this kingdom of Christ, and he will peaceably govern them by his word.

(p) That is, from the Red Sea, to the Sea called Syriacum: and by these places which the Jews knew, he meant an infinite space and area over the whole world.

(q) That is, from the Euphrates.
