Judah will also fight at Jerusalem
The phrase "Judah will also fight at Jerusalem" signifies the active participation of the tribe of Judah in the defense and deliverance of Jerusalem. Historically, Judah was the leading tribe of Israel, often associated with leadership and strength. The Hebrew root for "fight" (לחם, lacham) implies engaging in battle or warfare, suggesting a physical and spiritual struggle. This reflects the prophetic vision of a united Israel, where the people of God come together to defend the holy city. Theologically, it underscores the importance of unity among God's people in the face of adversity, symbolizing the spiritual battles Christians face today.

And the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—
This phrase indicates a divine reversal of fortunes. The "wealth" (חֵיל, cheil) refers to the material riches and resources of the nations. Historically, Jerusalem had been plundered by surrounding nations, but this prophecy foretells a time when the wealth of these nations will be gathered by God's people. This collection of wealth symbolizes God's ultimate justice and the restoration of His people. It serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to provide for His people, even using the resources of those who oppose them.

gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance
The mention of "gold, silver, and apparel" highlights the tangible blessings and prosperity that will be bestowed upon God's people. Gold and silver have always been symbols of wealth and value, while apparel represents status and dignity. The phrase "in great abundance" emphasizes the overwhelming generosity and provision of God. In a spiritual sense, this abundance can be seen as the richness of God's grace and the spiritual blessings that believers receive through faith. It points to the ultimate victory and reward for those who remain faithful to God, encouraging believers to trust in His provision and timing.

Verse 14. - Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem. The adversus Jerusalem of the Vulgate and some Jewish interpreters is a mistake, and introduces a wholly irrelevant idea. The meaning is that the Judaeans outside of Jerusalem, the nation at large, rallying to the attack, shall fall on the enemy, now thinned by pestilence and internecine conflicts within the walls of the city, and prevail against them (comp. Zechariah 12:6). Septuagint, Ἰούδας παρατάξεται ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ," Judah shall draw up his forces in Jerusalem." The wealth of all the heathen (nations) round about. The costly booty of the enemy shall fall into Judah's hands. Thus the Church emerges victorious from persecutions, and is enriched and adorned by the means of those who planned her overthrow.
