Zechariah 9:15
_ _ devour — the flesh of their foes.
_ _ drink — the blood of their foes; that is, utterly destroy them. Image (as Jeremiah 46:10) from a sacrifice, wherein part of the flesh was eaten, and the blood poured in libation (compare Isaiah 63:1, etc.).
_ _ subdue with sling-stones — or, “tread under foot the sling-stones” hurled by the foe at them; that is, will contemptuously trample on the hostile missiles which shall fall harmless under their feet (compare Job 41:28). Probably, too, it is implied that their foes are as impotent as the common stones used in slinging when they have fallen under foot: in contrast to the people of God (Zechariah 9:16), “the (precious) stones of a crown” (compare 1 Samuel 25:29) [Maurer]. English Version is good sense: The Jews shall subdue the foe at the first onset, with the mere slingers who stood in front of the line of battle and began the engagement. Though armed with but sling-stones, like David against Goliath, they shall subdue the foe (Judges 20:16; 1 Chronicles 12:2) [Grotius].
_ _ noise — the battle shout.
_ _ through wine — (Zechariah 10:7). The Spirit of God fills them with triumph (Ephesians 5:18).
_ _ filled — with blood.
_ _ like bowls — the bowls used to receive the blood of the sacrifices.
_ _ as ... corners — or “horns” of the altar, which used to be sprinkled with blood from the bowls (Exodus 29:12; Leviticus 4:18). |
Zechariah 9:15
Devour — Destroy their enemies. With sling — stones — As David did Goliath. Shall drink — In their festivals, when they offer sacrifices of thanksgiving for their victories. Make a noise — Shout with shouts of triumph, as men do whose hearts are glad with success, and cheared with wine. Shall fill — With the blood of the sacrifices they offer. |
Zechariah 9:15
The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, (z) and subdue the sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the corners of the altar.
(z) He promises that the Jews will destroy their enemies, and have abundance and excess of all things, as there is abundance on the altar when the sacrifice is offered. And these things are not to move them to excess, but to sobriety, and a thankful remembrance of God's great liberality. |
- they shall devour:
