Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 9:11

_ _ As for thee also — that is, the daughter of Zion,” or “Jerusalem” (Zechariah 9:9): the theocracy. The “thee also,” in contradistinction to Messiah spoken of in Zechariah 9:10, implies that besides cutting off the battle-bow and extending MESSIAH’S “dominion to the ends of the earth,” God would also deliver for her her exiled people from their foreign captivity.

_ _ by the blood of thy covenant — that is, according to the covenant vouchsafed to thee on Sinai, and ratified by the blood of sacrifices (Exodus 24:8; Hebrews 9:18-20).

_ _ pit wherein ... no water — Dungeons were often pits without water, miry at the bottom, such as Jeremiah sank in when confined (Genesis 37:24; Jeremiah 38:6). An image of the misery of the Jewish exiles in Egypt, Greece, etc., under the successors of Alexander, especially under Antiochus Epiphanes, who robbed and profaned the temple, slew thousands, and enslaved more. God delivered them by the Maccabees. A type of the future deliverance from their last great persecutor hereafter (Isaiah 51:14; Isaiah 60:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 9:9-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 9:11

As for thee — Oh Jerusalem; these words are Christ's words to her. By the blood — By my blood, in which thy covenant as confirmed; 'tis God's covenant as made by him, 'tis Zion's covenant as made for her, 'tis Christ's also as made in him. Sent forth — I have delivered the Jews out of Babylon: compared to a pit in which no water was, wherein the Jews must have perished, had not God visited them.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Zechariah 9:11

(r) As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy (s) prisoners out of the pit in which [is] no water.

(r) Meaning Jerusalem, or the Church which is saved by the blood of Christ, of which the blood of the sacrifices was a figure. And it is here called the covenant of the Church, because God made it with his Church: and left it with them because of the love that he had for them.

(s) God shows that he will deliver his Church out of all dangers, no matter how great they may seem.
