Zechariah 10:3

The Lord was angry with these false shepherds (rulers, i.e., kings, princes, nobles, prophets, and priests) and the other leaders who led His sheep astray like rams (cf. 1 Samuel 28:3-7; 1 Kings 16:31; 1 Kings 22:6-12; 2 Kings 1:2; 2 Kings 16:15; 2 Kings 21:6). The shepherds and rams may also include the foreign rulers under which the Jews had to live. [Note: See Chambers, p. 78, in Lange’s commentary.] The Lord would visit His flock, namely, the flock of Judah (the Israelites), and He would make His people like the horse He rode in battle to defeat His enemies. In other words, He would empower the Israelites. The weak sheep would become as strong as horses. The battle of Armageddon is probably in view (cf. Zechariah 12:1-9; Zechariah 14:1-8).
