Contextual Overview

8 And in that day shall there waters of life goe out from Ierusalem, halfe of them towarde the East sea, and halfe of them towarde the vttermost sea, and shall be, both in sommer and winter. 9 And the Lorde shall bee King ouer all the earth: in that day shall there bee one Lorde, and his Name shalbe one. 10 All the lande shall bee turned as a plaine from Geba to Rimmon, towarde the South of Ierusalem, and it shall be lifted vp, and inhabited in her place: from Beniamins gate vnto the place of the first gate, vnto the corner gate, and from the towre of Hananiel, vnto the Kings wine presses. 11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall bee no more destruction, but Ierusalem shall bee safely inhabited. 12 And this shall bee the plague, wherewith the Lorde will smite all people, that haue fought against Ierusalem: their flesh shall consume away, though they stand vpon their feete, and their eyes shall consume in their holes, and their tongue shall consume in their mouth. 13 But in that day a great tumult of the Lorde shall be among them, and euery one shall take the hande of his neighbour, and his hande shall rise vp against the hand of his neighbour. 14 And Iudah shall fight also against Ierusalem, and the arme of all the heathen shall be gathered rounde about, with golde and siluer, and great abundance of apparell. 15 Yet this shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camell and of the asse and of all the beasts that be in these tents as this plague.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem,.... These are the professing people of Christ, the armies in heaven, the chosen, called, and faithful, who will follow the Lamb, and attend him when he goes forth to make war with the antichristian princes, and shall overcome them, Revelation 17:14:

and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold and silver, and apparel, in great abundance; by which are meant the riches of the Papists, called Gentiles or Heathens,

Revelation 11:2 which will fall into the hands of the followers of Christ at the time of Rome's destruction; and which are signified by the flesh of the whore, and by the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men, which will then be eaten; they will be stripped and spoiled of all their substance, Revelation 17:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem - This seems more probable than the alternative rendering of the English margin, “against.” For Judah is united with Jerusalem as one, in the same context Zechariah 14:21; and, if it had shared with the pagan, it must also have shared their lot. It is Judah itself, not “a remnant of Judah,” as it is “every one that is left of all the nations” Zechariah 14:16, which is thus united to Jerusalem: it is that same Judah, as a whole, of which it is said, “it shall fight.” Nor is anything spoken of” conversion,” which is said of those left from the pagan nations, who had fought against her. Yet for Judah to have joined an exterminating pagan war against Jerusalem, even though constrained, had, like the constrained sacrifices to pagan gods, been apostasy. But there is not even a hint that, as Jonathan apologetically paraphrases , they were “constrained.”

The war is to be Judah’s free act: “Judah also shall fight.” Again, those gathered against Jerusalem, and their warfare against it, had been described at the outset, as “all nations” (Zechariah 14:2-3 : here the subject is not the gathering or fighting, but the overthrow. Nor is there any decisive contrary idiom; for, although when used of people, it always means “fight against,” yet, of place, it as often, means “fight in”. Probably then the prophet means, that not only should God fight for His people, but that “Judah also” should do its part, as Paul says, “We, then, as workers together with Him” 2 Corinthians 6:1; and, “we are laborers together with God” 1 Corinthians 3:9; and, “I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me” 1 Corinthians 15:10; or, “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” Philippians 2:12. God so doth all things in the Church, for the conversion of the pagan, and for single souls, as to wait for the cooperation of His creature. : “God made thee without thee; He doth not justify thee without thee.”

And the wealth of all the pagan round about shall be gathered - Whatever the world had taken in their war against the Church shall be abundantly repaid. “All the pagan” had combined to plunder Jerusalem; “the wealth of all the pagan” Zechariah 14:2 shall be gathered to requite them. Lap.: “As Isaiah says, The nations, converted to Christ, brought all their wealth to the Church, whence he congratulates the Church, saying, “Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breasts of kings - For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver” Isaiah 60:16-17; under which he typically understands, (Dionysius), “wisdom, philosophy, eloquence, learning, and all the other arts and sciences, liberal and mechanical, wherewith the pagan shall be adorned, who are converted to the faith. So shall the gifts of nature be perfected by the gifts of grace, and ‘they’ shall defend the Church who erstwhile attacked it.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zechariah 14:14. And Judah also shall fight — They shall have little else to do than take the spoil, the wealth of all the heathen round about; gold, silver, and apparel.
