Zechariah 12:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The governors (chieftains) of Judah shall say in their heart. The leaders of Judah have a profound, settled conviction that Jehovah is on his people's side. The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be (are) my strength.

When they see the enemy discomfited (Zechariah 12:2-4) each of them shall have confidence in the Divine election of Jerusalem, foregoing their former jealousy, and see in her success a token of God's protection and their own final victory.
