Zechariah9:15

Verſ. 15. The Lord of hoſts ſhall defend them] Heb.Paulum quo[illegible: 1 letter]ieſcunque lego, non verba mihi audire videor ſed tonitrua. ſhall hold his buckler over them, which none can ſtrike thorow.

and they ſhall devour] ſc. their enemies, that till then did eat up Gods people as they eat bread, Pſal. 14.5.

and ſubdue with ſling-ſtones] with weak means, as David did Goliath.

and they ſhall drink and make a noiſe] Tumultuabuntur quaſi temulenti, 'Tis a Catechreſis ſignifying the very great deſtruction of their enemies: ſo that they might be even drunk with their blood, if they had any mind to it: the tongues of their dogges ſhould be dipped therein, as Pſal. 68.23, 24.

and they ſhall be filled like bowls, &c.] that held the blood of the ſacrifices.

and as the corners of the altar] which were all beſprinkled with the blood of the ſacrifices. A Lapide applies all this to thoſe heavenly Conquerours, and more, that is, Triumphers, the Apoſtles and Martyrs.
