Zechariah 8:8
8:8 And I will bring them to settle within Jerusalem. They will be my people, and I will be their God, 1 in truth and righteousness.’
Zechariah 9:2
9:2 as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre 2 and Sidon, 3 though they consider themselves to be very wise.
Zechariah 11:8
11:8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, 4 for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.
Zechariah 14:13
14:13 On that day there will be great confusion from the Lord among them; they will seize each other and attack one another violently.
1 sn The affirmation They will be my people, and I will be their God speaks of covenant renewal, a restoration of the unbroken fellowship the Lord desired to have with his people but which their disloyalty had shattered. In the eschaton God and Israel will be in covenant union once again (cf. Jer 31:33).

4 sn Zechariah is only dramatizing what God had done historically (see the note on the word “cedars” in 11:1). The “one month” probably means just any short period of time in which three kings ruled in succession. Likely candidates are Elah, Zimri, Tibni (1 Kgs 16:8-20); Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem (2 Kgs 15:8-16); or Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah (2 Kgs 24:1–25:7).
