Commentary on Zechariah 11:8

Theological / Devotional

Three shepherds. It is impossible with any degree of certainty to apply these to any specific individuals or offices. It appears best to understand this text in its general teaching; namely, that God delivered His people from all opposition and from oppressive leadership. He did everything possible in order that His plans with respect to Israel might succeed (see on Isa. 5:4; Zech. 10:3).
