Zechariah 9:9-17 - The Coming Of Zion's King
9 Rejoice thou greatly, O daughter Zion; be glad, O daughter Jerusalem. For lo, thy King cometh unto thee, even the righteous and Saviour: Lowly and simple is he, he rideth upon an ass, and upon the foal of an ass. 10 I will root out the chariots from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, the battle bows shall be destroyed. He shall give the doctrine of peace unto the Heathen, and his dominion shall be from the one sea to the other, and from the floods to the ends of the world. 11 Thou also, through the blood of thy covenant, shalt let thy prisoners out of the pit, wherein is no water. 12 Turn you now to the stronghold, ye that be in prison, and long sore to be delivered: And this day I bring the word, that I will reward thee double again. 13 For Judah have I bent out as a bow for me, and Ephraim have I filled. Thy sons, O Zion, will I raise up against the Greeks, and make thee as a giant's sword: 14 the LORD God shall be seen above them, and his darts shall go forth as the lightning. The LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall come forth as a storm out of the south. 15 The LORD of Hosts shall defend them, they shall consume and devour, and subdue them with sling stones. They shall drink and rage, as it were through wine. They shall be filled like the basins, and as the horns of the altar. 16 The LORD their God shall deliver them in the day, as the flock of his people: for the stones of his Sanctuary shall be set up in his land. 17 O how prosperous and goodly a thing shall that be: The corn shall make the young men cheerful, and the new wine the maidens.
