Zechariah 9:9-10

Zion's Humble King and the Prisoners of Hope

The LORD judges proud surrounding powers, guards his house, announces Zion’s humble peace-bringing king, frees prisoners by covenant blood, and saves his people as a treasured flock.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

9Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

10And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be broken. Then He will proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion will extend from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
