Zechariah 9

1 God defendeth his Church. 9 Zion is exhorted to rejoice for the coming of Christ, and his peaceable Kingdom. 12 God's promises of victory and defence.

 9:1 ¶ The burden 4853 of the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 in the land 776 of Hadrach, 2317 and Damascus 1834 [shall be] the rest 4496 thereof: when x3588 the eyes 5869 of man, 120 as of all x3605 the tribes 7626 of Israel, 3478 [shall be] toward the LORD. 3068

 9:2 And Hamath 2574 also x1571 shall border 1379 z8799 thereby; Tyrus, 6865 and Zidon, 6721 though x3588 it be very 3966 wise. 2449 z8804

 9:3 And Tyrus 6865 did build 1129 z8799 herself a stronghold, 4692 and heaped up 6651 z8799 silver 3701 as the dust, 6083 and fine gold 2742 as the mire 2916 of the streets. 2351

 9:4 Behold, x2009 the Lord 136 will cast her out, 3423 z8686 and he will smite 5221 z8689 her power 2428 in the sea; 3220 and she x1931 shall be devoured 398 z8735 with fire. 784

 9:5 Ashkelon 831 shall see 7200 z8799 [it], and fear; 3372 z8799 Gaza 5804 also [shall see it], and be very y3966 sorrowful, 2342 z8799 x3966 and Ekron; 6138 for x3588 her expectation 4007 shall be ashamed; y3001 z8689 x954 and the king 4428 shall perish 6 z8804 from Gaza, 5804 x4480 and Ashkelon 831 shall not x3808 be inhabited. 3427 z8799

 9:6 And a bastard 4464 shall dwell 3427 z8804 in Ashdod, 795 and I will cut off 3772 z8689 the pride 1347 of the Philistines. 6430

 9:7 And I will take away 5493 z8689 his blood 1818 out of his mouth, 6310 x4480 and his abominations 8251 from between x4480 x996 his teeth: 8127 but he that remaineth, 7604 z8738 even x1571 he, x1931 [shall be] for our God, 430 and he shall be x1961 as a governor 441 in Judah, 3063 and Ekron 6138 as a Jebusite. 2983

 9:8 And I will encamp 2583 z8804 about mine house 1004 because of the army, 4675 because of him that passeth by, 5674 z8802 x4480 and because of him that returneth: 7725 z8802 x4480 and no x3808 oppressor 5065 z8802 shall pass x5674 through y5674 z8799 x5921 them any more: x5750 for x3588 now x6258 have I seen 7200 z8804 with mine eyes. 5869

 9:9 ¶ Rejoice 1523 z8798 greatly, 3966 O daughter 1323 of Zion; 6726 shout, 7321 z8685 O daughter 1323 of Jerusalem: 3389 behold, x2009 thy King 4428 cometh 935 z8799 unto thee: he x1931 [is] just, 6662 and having salvation; 3467 z8737 lowly, 6041 and riding 7392 z8802 upon x5921 an ass, 2543 and upon x5921 a colt 5895 the foal 1121 of an ass. 860

 9:10 And I will cut off 3772 z8689 the chariot 7393 from Ephraim, 669 x4480 and the horse 5483 from Jerusalem, 3389 x4480 and the battle 4421 bow 7198 shall be cut off: 3772 z8738 and he shall speak 1696 z8765 peace 7965 unto the heathen: 1471 and his dominion 4915 [shall be] from sea 3220 x4480 [even] to x5704 sea, 3220 and from the river 5104 x4480 [even] to x5704 the ends 657 of the earth. 776

 9:11 As for thee x859 also, x1571 by the blood 1818 of thy covenant 1285 I have sent forth 7971 z8765 thy prisoners 615 out of the pit 953 x4480 wherein [is] no x369 water. 4325

 9:12 ¶ Turn 7725 z8798 you to the stronghold, 1225 ye prisoners 615 of hope: 8615 even x1571 today 3117 do I declare 5046 z8688 [that] I will render 7725 z8686 double 4932 unto thee;

 9:13 When x3588 I have bent 1869 z8804 Judah 3063 for me, filled 4390 z8765 the bow 7198 with Ephraim, 669 and raised x5782 up y5782 z8790 thy sons, 1121 O Zion, 6726 against x5921 thy sons, 1121 O Greece, 3120 and made 7760 z8804 thee as the sword 2719 of a mighty man. 1368

 9:14 And the LORD 3068 shall be seen 7200 z8735 over x5921 them, and his arrow 2671 shall go forth 3318 z8804 as the lightning: 1300 and the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shall blow 8628 z8799 the trumpet, 7782 and shall go 1980 z8804 with whirlwinds 5591 of the south. 8486

 9:15 The LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 shall defend 1598 z8686 x5921 them; and they shall devour, 398 z8804 and subdue 3533 z8804 with slingstones; 68 7050 and they shall drink, 8354 z8804 [and] make a noise 1993 z8804 as through x3644 wine; 3196 and they shall be filled 4390 z8804 like bowls, 4219 [and] as the corners 2106 of the altar. 4196

 9:16 And the LORD 3068 their God 430 shall save 3467 z8689 them in that x1931 day 3117 as the flock 6629 of his people: 5971 for x3588 they [shall be as] the stones 68 of a crown, 5145 lifted up as an ensign 5264 z8706 upon x5921 his land. 127

 9:17 For x3588 how x4100 great [is] his goodness, 2898 and how x4100 great [is] his beauty! 3308 corn 1715 shall make the young men 970 cheerful, 5107 z8766 and new wine 8492 the maids. 1330
