Zechariah 6:8

Context
6:8 Then he cried out to me, “Look! The ones going to the northland have brought me 1  peace about the northland.” 2 

Zechariah 14:3

Context

14:3 Then the Lord will go to battle 3  and fight against those nations, just as he fought battles in ancient days. 4 

1 tn Heb “my spirit.” The subject appears to be the Lord who exclaims here that the horsemen have accomplished their task of bringing peace.

2 sn The immediate referent of peace about the northland is to the peace brought by Persia’s conquest of Babylonia, a peace that allowed the restoration of the Jewish people (cf. 2 Chr 36:22-23; Isa 44:28; 45:1-2). However, there is also an eschatological dimension, referring to a time when there will be perfect and universal peace.

3 sn The statement the Lord will go to battle introduces the conflict known elsewhere as the “battle of Armageddon,” a battle in which the Lord delivers his people and establishes his millennial reign (cf. Joel 3:12, 15-16; Ezek 38–39; Rev 16:12-21; 19:19-21).

4 tn Heb “as he fights on a day of battle” (similar NASB, NIV, NRSV).
