Gill's Notes on the Bible

And I will strengthen them in the Lord,.... Not the Egyptians and Assyrians, but the Jews, as in Zechariah 10:5, the Targum is,

"I will strengthen them in the word of the Lord;''

in the Messiah, by his power, and in the grace that is in him; and their faith and hope in him, and love to him: or "by" t him; so that, through him strengthening them, they will be able to do all things; to exercise grace; perform duty; withstand temptation; oppose indwelling sin; bear the cross of Christ; endure afflictions; engage with all their spiritual enemies, and conquer them: for the words may be rendered, "I will cause them to prevail", or "overcome in the Lord" u; all their enemies, temporal and spiritual; and even to be more than conquerors through him that has loved them:

and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord; walk in him, the way to the Father, to heaven and happiness; walk by faith on him, in his strength, and in imitation of him; walk according to his Gospel, calling on his name, professing and worshipping him; and walk in his church and ordinances, agreeably to his will; see Micah 4:5. Kimchi owns that this whole chapter belongs to the times of the Messiah, as well as the former. The words may be considered as a testimony to the doctrine of the Trinity; that I, Jehovah the Father, will strengthen them in Jehovah the Son; and they shall walk up and down in the name of the Son of God, saith Jehovah the Spirit. Moreover, as a promise of the saints' final perseverance, very peremptorily expressed; I "will" strengthen them, and they "shall" walk, &c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will strengthen them in the Lord - As our Lord said to Paul, “My strength is made perfect in weakness,” and Paul said in turn, “When I am weak, then am I strong. And in His Name shall they walk up and down,” have their whole conversation (Dionysius), “in Him according to His will, and diligent in all things to speak and act in ills grace and divine hope.” Jerome: “Christians walk in the Name of Christ, and there is written on the new white stone given to them a “new name” Revelation 2:17, and under the dignity of a name so great, they walk with God, as “Enoch walked and pleased God and was translated” Genesis 5:24.

Saith the Lord - Dionysius: “Again the Lord God speaks of the Lord God, as of Another, hinting the plurality of Persons in the Godhead.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zechariah 10:12. I will strengthen them in the Lord — I, the God of Israel, will strengthen them in the Lord-Jesus, the Messiah; and thus indeed the Chaldee: I will strengthen them, בימרא דיי bemeymre dayai, in or by the WORD of Jehovah, the same personal Word which we so often meet with in the Chaldee paraphrases or Targum.

They shall walk up and down in his name — In the name of the Messiah. Saith the Lord - GOD speaks here, not of himself, but concerning his Christ. The Jews shall have complete liberty; they shall appear everywhere as a part of the flock of Christ, and no difference be made between them and the converted Gentiles. They shall be all one fold under one Shepherd and Bishop of all souls.
