John Trapp on Zechariah 6:10

Verſ. 10. Take of them of the captivity] i. e. Of the returned captives, even of Heldai, Num. 16.2. of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah] Men famous in the Congregation, men of renown. That theſe four mentioned here (taking in Joſiah, who is alſo called Her, verſe 14.) were Embaſſadours from the godly Jews in Babylon, and brought their giſts, as Junius thinketh, I cannot affirm. But that they were the ſame with Daniel, Shadrach, Meſhach, and Abednego, as the Jews and Hierom tell us, I do not beleeve. Joſiah ſeemeth to be the Hoſte to the other three: as Gaius was to St. Paul, and other good people. Though ſome think rather, he was either treaſurer for the Temple, or elſe a gold-ſmith, and one that could make crowns. Calvin conjectures from the fourteenth verſe; (where it is ſaid, that the crowns ſhall be to theſe men for a memoriall) that being men of authority, they were deeply guilty of infidelity and impatiency, becauſe they [illegible: 1 letter]aw not a preſent performance of the promiſes; they were diſcontented themſelves, and diſcouraged others. Ye have need of patience, ſaith the Apoſtle to thoſe ſhort ſpirited Hebrews chap. 10.36. who found it more eaſie to ſuffer evil, thento wait for the promiſed good.

and come thou the ſame day] Either the ſame day theſe men came from Babylon: Or, the ſelf-ſame day that the Lord ſpake to the Prophet, is hee commanded to go, not to put it off a day longer: for the people needed a ſpeedy and haſty comfort. No ſooner had God prepared the people, but the thing was done ſuddenly, as 2 Chron. 29.36. No ſooner were they ripe, but he was ready. He is a God of judgement, a wiſe God, that knowes when to deal forth his favours: As till then he waits to be gracious, Eſay 30.18. His fingers itch to be doing good in his good pleaſure to Sion: as the mothers breaſts ake, when now it is time the child had ſuck. He exalteth the lowly, he filleth the hungry with good things. When once David is poor and needy, God will make no tarriance, Pſal. 40.17. when his ſoul is even as a weaned child, then he ſhall have the kingdom, Pſal. 131.2.
