Zechariah 9:13
_ _ bent Judah — made Judah as it were My bow, and “filled” it “with Ephraim,” as My arrow, wherewith to overcome the successor of the Grecian Alexander, Antiochus Epiphanes (compare Notes, see on Daniel 8:9; see on Daniel 11:32; 1 Maccabees 1:62; 2:41-43), the oppressor of Judah. Having spoken (Zechariah 9:1-8) of Alexander’s victories, after the parenthesis (Zechariah 9:9, Zechariah 9:10) as to Messiah the infinitely greater King coming, he passes to the victories which God would enable Judah to gain over Alexander’s successor, after his temporary oppression of them.

O Greece — Against the Grecians or Ionians, who had oppressed the Jews, and bought them for slaves, against whom the Jews took arms, under the conduct of the Maccabees, to whom Christ made good much of this promise. |
