Zechariah 9:7
_ _ take ... his blood out of ... mouth — Blood was forbidden as food (Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 7:26).
_ _ abominations — things sacrificed to idols and then partaken of by the worshippers (Numbers 25:2; Acts 15:29). The sense is, “I will cause the Philistines to cease from the worship of idols.”
_ _ even he shall be for our God — “even he,” like Hamath, Damascus, Tyre, etc., which, these words imply, shall also be converted to God (Isaiah 56:3, “son of the stranger joined himself to the Lord”) [Rosenmuller]. The “even,” however, may mean, Besides the Hebrews, “even” the Philistine shall worship Jehovah (so Isaiah 56:8) [Maurer].
_ _ he shall be as a governor in Judah — On the conversion of the Philistine prince, he shall have the same dignity “in Judah as a governor”; there shall be no distinction [Henderson]. The Philistine princes with their respective states shall equally belong to the Jews’ communion, as if they were among the “governors” of states “in Judah” [Maurer].
_ _ Ekron as a Jebusite — The Jebusites, the original inhabitants of Jerusalem, who, when subjugated by David, were incorporated with the Jews (2 Samuel 24:16, etc.), and enjoyed their privileges: but in a subordinate position civilly (1 Kings 9:20, 1 Kings 9:21). The Jebusites’ condition under Solomon being that of bond-servants and tributaries, Calvin explains the verse differently: “I will rescue the Jew from the teeth of the Philistine foe (image from wild beasts rending their prey with their teeth), who would have devoured him, as he would devour blood or flesh of his abominable sacrifices to idols: and even he, the seemingly ignoble remnant of the Jews, shall be sacred to our God (consecrated by His favor); and though so long bereft of dignity, I will make them to be as governors ruling others, and Ekron shall be a tributary bond-servant as the Jebusite? Thus the antithesis is between the Jew that remaineth (the elect remnant) and the Ekronite. |
Zechariah 9:7
Take away his blood — Though proud and warlike nations have delighted to shed blood, and, as it were, to eat the blood of their enemies, yet God will overthrow their power, and take the prey out of their mouth. Abominations — Their abominable sacrifices which they offered and feasted on. God will punish their idolatries, and by destroying the cities of those abominations, will remove them for ever. The remnant — That small select number who escape the sword, shall be the Lord's peculiar ones. As a governor — For the honour which shall be given them. As a Jebusite — The city is put for the people, and this one city and people for all the other: all the remaining Philistines shall be as Jebusites, servants to the people of God. |
Zechariah 9:7
And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his (h) teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and (i) Ekron as a Jebusite.
(h) He promises to deliver the Jews when he will take vengeance on their enemies for their cruelty, and the wrongs they did to them.
(i) As the Jebusites had been destroyed, so would Ekron and all the Philistines. |

And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with [their] face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.
Isaiah 60:14-16 The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. ... Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
