**burden**
*(See Scofield "**")* , note 1.

**because of him**
There seems to be a reference here to the advance and return of Alexander ([Zechariah 9:13](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/13)) after the battle of Issus, who subdued the cities mentioned in [Zechariah 9:1-6](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/1-6); [Zechariah 9:1-6](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/1-6) and afterward returned to Greece without harming Jerusalem. But the greater meaning converges on the yet future last days *(See Scofield "*[Zechariah 9:1-38](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/1-38)*")* as the last clause of verse [Zechariah 9:8](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/8) shows, for many oppressors have passed through Jerusalem since the days of Alexander.

**behold, thy King**
The events following this manifestation of Christ as King are recorded in the Gospels. The real faith of the multitude who cried, "Hosanna" is given in [Matthew 21:11](../../../kjv/matthew/21/11) and so little was Jesus deceived by His apparent reception as King, that He wept over Jerusalem and announced its impending destruction (fulfilled A.D. 70; [Luke 19:38-44](../../../kjv/luke/19/38-44). The same multitude soon cried, "Crucify Him."

**And I will cut off**
Having introduced the King in [Zechariah 9:9](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/9); [Zechariah 9:9](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/9); [Zechariah 9:10](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/10) and the verses which follow look forward to the end-time and kingdom. Except in verse 9, this present age is not seen in Zechariah.

**prisoners** Cf. [Isaiah 24:17-23](../../../kjv/isaiah/24/17-23); [Zechariah 9:21](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/21); [Zechariah 9:23](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/23) fix the time as the day of the LORD. [Revelation 19:11-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/11-21).

**strong hold** See context, [Zechariah 9:14](../../../kjv/zechariah/9/14). Also, [Jeremiah 16:19](../../../kjv/jeremiah/16/19).
