Zechariah 6:13

Context
6:13 Indeed, he will build the temple of the Lord, and he will be clothed in splendor, sitting as king on his throne. Moreover, there will be a priest 1  with him on his throne and they will see eye to eye on everything.

Zechariah 11:16

Context
11:16 Indeed, I am about to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not take heed to the sheep headed to slaughter, will not seek the scattered, and will not heal the injured. 2  Moreover, he will not nourish the one that is healthy but instead will eat the meat of the fat sheep 3  and tear off their hooves.

Zechariah 13:2

Context
13:2 And also on that day,” says the Lord who rules over all, “I will remove 4  the names of the idols from the land and they will never again be remembered. Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

1 sn The priest here in the immediate context is Joshua but the fuller and more distant allusion is to the Messiah, a ruling priest. The notion of the ruler as a priest-king was already apparent in David and his successors (Pss 2:2, 6-8; 110:2, 4), and it finds mature expression in David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, who will combine both offices in his kingship (Heb 5:1-10; 7:1-25).

2 tn Heb “the broken” (so KJV, NASB; NRSV “the maimed”).

3 tn Heb “the fat [ones].” Cf. ASV “the fat sheep”; NIV “the choice sheep.”

4 tn Heb “cut off” (so NRSV); NAB “destroy”; NIV “banish.”
