zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God will save them in that day As the flock of His people; For [they are as] the stones of a crown, Sparkling in His land.

16. save them . . . as the flock of his people--as the flock of His people ought to be saved (Ps 77:20). Here the image of war and bloodshed (Zec 9:15) is exchanged for the shepherd and flock, as God will give not only victory, but afterwards safe and lasting peace. In contrast to the worthless sling-stones trodden under foot stand the (gems) "stones of the crown (Isa 62:3; Mal 3:17), lifted up as an ensign," that all may flock to the Jewish Church (Isa 11:10, 12; 62:10).

zechariah 9:16 And the LORD their God will save them in that day As the flock of His people; For [they are as] the stones of a crown, Sparkling in His land.
