Zechariah 8:19

Context
8:19 “The Lord who rules over all says, ‘The fast of the fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth⁴ months will become joyful and happy, pleasant feasts for the house of Judah, so love truth and peace.’

¹tn Heb “house” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

²sn This lamentation marked the occasion of the destruction of Solomon’s temple on August 14, 586 b.c., almost exactly 70 years earlier (cf. 2 Kgs 25:8).

³tn The seventh month apparently refers to the anniversary of the assassination of Gedaliah, governor of Judah (Jer 40:13-14; 41:1), in approximately 581 b.c.

⁴sn The fasts of the fifth and seventh months, mentioned previously (7:5), are listed here along with the observances of the fourth and tenth months. The latter commemorated the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians on January 15, 588 b.c. (2 Kgs 25:1), and the former the breach of the city walls on or about July 18, 586 b.c. (Jer 39:2-5).
