Zechariah 12:8
Compare all
6 In that day I will make the governors of Judah alike a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.  
7 “The Lord will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah.
8 In that day the Lord will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the Lord before them.
9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to adestroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.  

Mourning for the Pierced One

10 a“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will blook on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him cas one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.  
11 In that day there shall be a great amourning in Jerusalem, blike the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

Zechariah 12:8

He that is feeble among them - shall be as David - Here is a marked difference between Judaism and Christianity. So clear, full, and efficient shall be the salvation of believers under the Gospel that the feeblest among them shall be as strong, as full of courage, and as successful as David when he went against Goliath. The least in the kingdom of heaven was greater than John the Baptist.

And the house of David - as the angel of the Lord - The family the Church of the true David, the Lord Jesus, shall be as the angel of the Lord; shall stand in the Divine presence like Gabriel; for Christ hath said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." So "we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed from glory into glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord." Thus the house of David, the true Christians, shall here walk with, after, and before God.
