Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 2:9

9 For behold, I will shake mine hand upon them , and they shall be a spoil unto their servants , and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me .

Or lift up.

My power and strength.

Against the Nation and Kingdom that doth violence to the people, who are my glory, and I am theirs, saith the Lord.

Those people who comply not with him whom God sendeth.

Shall be overthrown and spoiled, and become a prey.

The Jewes who were first spoiled by, and then made servants to the Nations who conquer'd, captivated and hardly used the Jewes, and indeed this fulfill'd in Esthers days, and in the Maccabees times.

Either Jewes, or Heathen, or both.

Be convinced and own it.

The great and faithful God.

Hath commissioned Christ to inform them who are to make their choice what to do herein.
