These words were prophetic, and not imprecatory; and should be
rendered as Houbigant proposes, in the future tense: "The
Lord will look upon it, and avenge it." The event soon
verified this prediction; for, before the year was expired,
the Syrians came up against Jerusalem, and destroyed all the
princes of the people, and Joash himself was slain in his bed
by his own servants. Many circumstances served to aggravate
this barbarous act. Zechariah was a high-priest and a
prophet, upright and unblameable in the discharge of his high
offices; this murder was perpetrated within the very precincts
of the courts of the Lord; and this truly good man was by
blood the nearest relative of Joash, and the son of the man
who had save him from being murdered, and raised him to the
throne!
