Gill's Notes on the Bible
Again the word of the Lord of hosts came [to me] saying. The phrase, "to me", is wanting in the Hebrew text; and is the only place it is wanting in, as the Masora observes; though undoubtedly it is to be understood; and therefore is rightly supplied, as it is by the Targum, "with me". Mention being made in the latter part of the preceding chapter Zechariah 7:8 of the desolations of the earth, comfort is here administered, as Aben Ezra notes.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Dionysius: “After the Lord had, in the preceding chapter, manifoldly rebuked the Jewish people, He now comforts it with renewed promises, as a good physician, who after a bitter draught employs sweet and soothing remedies; as that most loving Samaritan poured in wine and oil.” The chapter falls into two portions, each marked by the words, The Word of the Lord of hosts came or came unto me, the first Zechariah 8:1-17 declaring the reversal of the former judgments, and the complete, though conditional, restoration of God’s favor; the 2nd Zechariah 8:18-23 containing the answer to the original question as to those fasts, in the declaration of the joy and the spread of the Gospel. The first portion has, again, a sevenfold, the second, a threefold subordinate division; marked by the beginning, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VIII
In this chapter God promises the continuance of his favour to
those who are returned from the captivity; so that upon the
removal of his judgments, the fasts they had observed during
the captivity may now be converted to so many occasions of
rejoicing. He likewise promises in due time a general
restoration of his people, and the enlargement of the Church
by the accession of the Gentiles, 1-20.
The conclusion of the chapter intimates farther that the Jews,
after their restoration, will be instrumental in converting
many other nations, 21-23.
Compare Romans 11:15-16.
