Zechariah 11:1

Verse 1. Gates. Josephus (Bel. vii. 12.) relates, that the heavy eastern gates flew open at midnight: and the priests officiating at Pentecost, heard a multitude crying, “Let us go hence.” See Tacit. Hist. v. Johanan then declared, “O temple, I know thou wilt so be destroyed,” as Zac. foretold, Open, and so forth Kimchi, Lyr. and so forth Calmet.—Libanus. So Jerusalem, and more particularly the temple, is called by the prophets, from its height, and from its being built of the cedars of Libanus. Challoner. Isaiah 10:34. Ezekiel 17. Saint Jerome—The destruction of both by Titus is predicted. Worthington.—Cedars. Thy princes and chief men. Challoner. Worthington.
