Zechariah 9 is the ninth 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. In the Hebrew Bible it is part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets.[4] This chapter opens the so-called "Second Zechariah" portion, consisting of Zechariah 9–14,[5] which was composed "long after the previous portions of the book".[6] It concerns the advance of an enemy (cf. oracles in Amos and Ezekiel), but God defends Jerusalem and promises that his king (verse 9) will triumphantly enter the city to bring peace among all nations.[7] This chapter also contains a continuation of the subject in the seventh chapter.[6][clarification needed] The oracle referring to the king's entry into Jerusalem (verses 9 and 10) is quoted in the New Testament in the accounts of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21, John 12).[7][8]
