This section describes "the king of peace", drawn partly from 'Jacob's blessing of Judah' (Genesis 49:10–11) and partly from Psalm 72:8. It is the first of several passages which Katrina Larkin refers to as "linking passages" which "bind chapters 9 to 14 together": see Book of Zechariah#Chapters 9 to 14. [16]
The "burden" in Zechariah 12:1 stands against Israel. [18] Katrina Larkin argues that there is a unity across these six chapters established by a series of short "linking passages" at 9:9-10, 10:1-2, 11:1-3, 11:17 and 13:7-9".

Webb, however, calls it as a "considerable sum of money". [20]

[3] In the Bible, he is the father of John the Baptist , a priest of the sons of Aaron in the Gospel of Luke ( Luke 1:67–79 ), and the husband of Elizabeth who is a relative of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:36).
Zechariah's prophetical career probably began in the second year of Darius the Great, king of the Achaemenid Empire (520 BCE). [4] His greatest concern appears to have been with the building of the Second Temple.
