4. Connections Between Sections ofZechariah 1-14 289 of Olives. The former is most obviously linked with the death of Josiah, killed in the plain of Megiddo, and for whom laments were uttered at the time of the Chronicler. This might then be linked with the 'martyr' of 12.10. l The 'Mount of Olives', east of Mount Zion, 2 does not occur elsewhere in the OT. Perhaps we should make some connection with the olive trees of ch. 4. There are suggestive allusions here, but nothing that we can say with any certainty. I shall defer further discussion until after consideration of Zechariah 14.

In addition I have found contacts with the previous major sections in that: 1. Zech. 12.1-9 and 14.1-15 both present a situation where Israel is under attack by the nations, but is victorious through the intervention of Yahweh. 2. The climax of ch. 14 is that there will no longer be a 'JMD in the Temple. If this is read in ch. 11, then a firm link is established, and 14.21 implies also a purified leadership. I will try to set out the overall pattern of chs. 9-14, as it has emerged. 9 1-8 Judgment for Judah's enemies (with a hint of salvation) 9-10 Judah's righteous, saved, humble king comes; peace is established 11-17 Judgment for enemies and salvation for Judah/Ephraim 10 1-5 Further concern about leadership: judgment of corrupt leaders; provision of true leadership (?) 6-12 Strengthening for Judah/Joseph/Ephraim (with mention of judgment for enemies) 11 1-3 Judgment on ? (pride, shepherds, nations?) 4-14 Judgment against bad leaders and stubborn people 15-17 Judgment of a leader 12 1-9 Judgment for Judah's/Jerusalem's enemies: victory in battle 10-14 The pierced one. Yahweh's spirit of compassion brings mourning 13 1 Cleansing'on that day' 2-6 Idols and false prophets are removed 7-9 Judgment of 'my shepherd' brings refining and fulfilment of the promise: Yahweh their God etc. 14 1-15 Judgment for Judah's/Jerusalem's enemies: destroyed in battle by God's intervention Eschatological phenomena; plagues for Yahweh's enemies 16-21 Blessing for the nations: they come to Jerusalem for the feast of booths (or else they suffer plagues) Jerusalem is purified ('holy to Yahweh')
