Gill's Exposition on Zechariah 10:12

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Zechariah 10:12
And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD. And I will strengthen them in the Lord - (Hosea 1:7).
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Zechariah 10:12
I will strengthen them: see . In the Lord, their God, in Christ, say some; and it is true enough, whether these words so mean or no, God and Christ are the strength of the church, and of all believers. They shall walk up and down, shall manage all their affairs, civil and military, secular and ecclesiastical, in his name; by authority derived from him, by power received of him, by wisdom given from above, to the glory of our God and our Redeemer. Thus far the great things promised to the Jewish church, and which were to be fulfilled in the time from the rebuilding the temple and city to the coming of Christ, through some four hundred and ninety years; in which times if aught fell short of-promise, it was because the sins of the people provoked God-to alter the course of his providence toward them.
Trapp's Commentary on Zechariah 10:12
Zechariah 10:12 And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.Ver. 12. And I will strengthen them in the Lord] That is, in Christ, the head of the Churches; "for by his own strength shall no man prevail," saith holy Hannah, 1 Samuel 2:9, and "without me ye can do nothing," saith Christ, the true vine, John 15:5, from whom we have both the bud of good desires, the blossom of good resolutions, and the fruit of good actions. Only we must fetch our strength by faith from Christ; and pray, as Isaiah 51:9 "Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord." And they shall walk in his name] i.e. In his strength and to his glory. See that sweet promise, Isaiah 40:29-31.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Zechariah 10:12
Verse 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.
Cambridge Bible on Zechariah 10:12
