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".
Zechariah 11 is the eleventh of the 14 chapters in the Book of Zechariah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Zechariah .

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. [4] He features in chapters 1–8 of the book of Zechariah but he does not appear in the remaining chapters of the book (chapters 9 ...
Dale C. Allison notes that Luke 11:49–51 echoes 2 Chron 24:17–25 by referring to the sending of the prophets, the blood of Zechariah and the temple precinct.

Bart D. Ehrman agreed that the Gospel of Matthew misunderstood Zechariah 9:9, which states '[Your king comes] riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.' This repetition is a Hebrew poetic figure of speech which says the same thing twice in different words, but Matthew accidentally turned this into two separate animals which Jesus ...
