SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:9

Porque he aquí yo alzo mi mano sobre ellos, y serán despojo a sus siervos, y sabréis que el SEÑOR de los ejércitos me envió.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 2:9

Verse 9. I will shake mine hand upon them] I will threaten first, and then stretch out my hand of
judgment against them.

A spoil to their servants] To those whom they had formerly subjected to their sway. As the Babylonians to the Medes and Persians; and so of the rest in the subversion of empires.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 9. For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them , etc.] The nations; either the Babylonian, or the antichristian states; meaning, that he would exert his power, and inflict punishment on them, and utterly destroy them; which would be done by the bare shaking of his hand: and they shall be a spoil to their servants ; as the Babylonians were to the Persians; not through Cyrus, which had been done; but through Darius, who took Babylon, after a siege of twenty months, and put great numbers to death; and all became a spoil to the Persians, who had been their servants: or the ten kings, that gave their kingdoms to the beast, and were subject to him; but now shall hate the whore, and eat her flesh; and all her riches and revenues shall be a spoil unto them, and be divided among them, ( Revelation 17:12,16): and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me ; either the Prophet Zechariah, that he was a true prophet, and had his mission from the Lord of hosts, as will appear by the accomplishment of these prophecies; or rather Christ, sent by God the Father; and who will be known and owned by the Jews, as well as by the Gentiles, to be the sent of God, when they shall be converted, and antichrist shall be destroyed. Kimchi refers this, and the following verse ( Zechariah 2:10), to the times of the Messiah.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-9 - If
God will build Jerusalem for the people and their comfort, they mus inhabit it for him and his glory. The promises and privileges with which God's people are blessed, should engage us to join them, whateve it costs us. When Zion is enlarged to make room for all God's Israel it is the greatest madness for any of them to stay in Babylon. The captivity of a sinful state is by no means to be continued in, though man may be easy in worldly matters. Escape for thy life, look no behind thee. Christ has proclaimed that deliverance to the captives which he has himself wrought out, and it concerns every one to resolv that sin shall not have dominion over him. Those who would be foun among God's children, must save themselves from this world, see A 2:40. What Christ will do for his church, shall be an evident proof of God's care and affection. He that touches you, touches the apple of his eye. This is a strong expression of God's love to his church. He take what is done against her as done against the tenderest part of the eye to which the least touch is a great offence. Christ is sent to be the Protector of his church.
