Commentary on Zechariah (420)

(Verse 11, 12.) You also, in the blood of your covenant, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit in which there is no water. Return to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you. LXX: And you, by the blood of your covenant, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit that has no water. You shall sit in the stronghold, prisoners of the assembly, and for one day of your journey I will restore double to you.

Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament (1765)

As for thee - Oh Jerusalem; these words are Christ's words to her. By the blood - By my blood, in which thy covenant as confirmed; 'tis God's covenant as made by him, 'tis Zion's covenant as made for her, 'tis Christ's also as made in him.

Matthew Henry

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

It was by the blood of that covenant, typifying the blood of Christ, in whom all God's covenants with man are yea and amen, that they were released out of captivity; and this was but a shadow of the great salvation wrought out by thy King, O daughter of Zion!

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

As for thee also - The prophet turns from the deliverance of the whole world to the former people, the sorrows which they should have in the way, and the protection which God would bestow upon them for the sake of Him, who, according to the flesh, was to be born of them. “Thou too;” he had spoken of the glories of the Church, such as her king, when He should come, should extend it, embracing earth’s remotest bounds: he turns to her, Israel after the flesh, and assures her of the continued protection of God, even in her lowest estate.
