Zechariah 9:9-13
American Standard Version
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee; he is just, and [a]having [b]salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and he shall speak peace unto the nations: and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have set free thy prisoners from the pit wherein is no water. 12 [c]Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee. 13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O [d]Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.

The Coming of Zion’s King
9 Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!(A)
Shout,(B) Daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king comes to you,(C)
righteous and victorious,(D)
lowly and riding on a donkey,(E)
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.(F)
10 I will take away the chariots from Ephraim
and the warhorses from Jerusalem,
and the battle bow will be broken.(G)
He will proclaim peace(H) to the nations.
His rule will extend from sea to sea
and from the River[a] to the ends of the earth.(I)
11 As for you, because of the blood of my covenant(J) with you,
I will free your prisoners(K) from the waterless pit.(L)
12 Return to your fortress,(M) you prisoners of hope;
even now I announce that I will restore twice(N) as much to you.
13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow(O)
and fill it with Ephraim.(P)
I will rouse your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,(Q)
and make you like a warrior’s sword.(R)
