Zechariah 9:15-16

The Lord would defend Israel and would cause His people to be victorious over their enemies. The death of these enemies would be a sacrifice to Him. However, the Israelites would experience deliverance and victory, like a flock of sheep protected by their Shepherd. They would be precious and beautiful in the Lord’s land, as jewels in a crown as they circled Jerusalem’s hills. They would trample on the sling stones (Zechariah 9:15) used in warfare and would become precious stones in the King’s crown (Zechariah 9:16).
