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 8:15

Context
8:15 so, to the contrary, I have planned in these days to do good to Jerusalem and Judah – do not fear!

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.
