Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I wilt strengthen the house of Judah,.... Both with internal and external strength, so that they shall be able to stand their ground against enemies of every sort:
and I will save the house of Joseph: the ten tribes, such of them that shall be found, for all Israel shall be saved, Romans 11:26 not only temporally, but spiritually, with an everlasting salvation:
and I will bring them again to place them; there is but one word in the original text; it is composed of two words, as Kimchi observes, of
שוב, "to return", and ישב, "to sit" or "dwell" o, quietly, constantly, and at ease; and our version takes in both senses: the meaning is, that these people should be returned from the state and condition and from each of the places they are in, and be settled either in their own land, or in Gospel churches, under a Gospel ministry, enjoying Gospel ordinances, or in both:
for I have mercy upon them; which is the spring and source of all the above benefits promised, or that are after mentioned; even of the covenant and its blessings; the mission of Christ, and salvation by him; regeneration, pardon, and eternal life; hence they that had a "loammi" upon them, and were not the people of God, now will be his people; and those who had not obtained mercy shall obtain it, even those that were concluded in unbelief:
and they shall be as though I had not cast them off; or rejected them from being his people; which was done when the natural branches, the Jews, were broken off, and the Gentiles of the wild olive tree were grafted in; when their civil and church state were dissolved, and their city and temple destroyed:
for I [am] the Lord their God; covenant interest always remains, and is the source of all the blessings of grace, and will be of the conversion of the Jews, Romans 11:26:
and will hear them; when, the Spirit of grace and supplication being poured upon them, they shall cry unto the Lord, and look to him for salvation. The Targum is,
"and I will receive their prayer.''
o והושבותים "et reverti et habitare faciam", Burkius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I will bring them again to place them - Zechariah seems to have condensed into one word two of Jeremiah, “I will bring them again” unto this place, and “I will cause them to dwell” safely Jeremiah 32:37. Kimchi. It is not a confusion of forms, but the blending of two words into one. So also Ibn Ezra): “The two ideas are here both implied, he will cause them to return to their land, and will cause them to dwell there in peace and security.”
For I will have mercy upon them - Dionysius: “For the goodness and lovingkindness of God, not any merits of our’s, is the first and principal cause of our whole salvation and grace. Therefore the Psalmist says, ‘neither did their own arm save them; but Thy right hand and Thine arm, and the light of Thy countenance, because Thou hadst a favor unto them’ Psalms 44:3.”
And they shall be, as though I had not cast them off - (Etymologically, “loathed,” “cast off as a thing abhorrent” .) God is ever “the God of the present.” He does not half-forgive. “Their sins and their iniquities I will remember no more” Hebrews 8:12. God casts off the sinner, as being what he is, a thing abhorrent, as penitence confesses of itself that it is “a dead dog, a loathsome worm, a putrid corpse.” God will not clothe with a righteousness, which He does not impart. He restores to the penitent all his lost graces, as though he had never forfeited them, and cumulates them with the fresh grace whereby He converts him (see vol. i. on Joel 2:25, pp. 192, 193). It is an entire re-creation. “They shall be, as though I had not cast them off.” “I will settle you as in your old estates, and will do good, more than at your beginnings, and ye shall know that I am the Lord” Ezekiel 36:11.
For I am the Lord their God, and will hear them - As He says by Malchi, “I am the Lord; I change not” Malachi 3:6. His unchangeableness belongs to His Being; “I Am; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed;” and by Hosea, “The Lord of hosts, The Lord is His memorial, therefore turn thou to thy God” (Hosea 12:5-6, (6, 7 Heb.) See vol. i. pp. 119, 120). Because God was “their God,” and as surely as He was “their God,” He would hear them. His Being was the pledge of His hearing. “I, the Lord, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them” Isaiah 41:17.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 10:6. I will strengthen the house of Judah — I doubt whether the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth verses (Zechariah 10:6-9) are not to be understood of the future ingathering of the Jews in the times of the Gospel. See Jeremiah 3:14; Jeremiah 23:6; Hosea 1:2; Hosea 6:11.
