Zechariah 9

YHWH pronounces judgment on surrounding nations including Hadrach, Damascus, Tyre, Sidon, Ashkelon, Gaza, and Ekron, destroying their pride and wealth, while encamping protectively around His house in Israel[1][2][3]. The daughter of Zion rejoices at the coming of her righteous king on a donkey's colt, who brings salvation, universal peace, and victory; YHWH empowers Judah and Ephraim against Greece, appearing over them with lightning arrows, trumpet, and whirlwinds for triumph[1][2][3].
