# Zechariah 9 General Notes
|
|
|
|
### Structure and formatting
|
|
|
|
This chapter is written mainly in prose about the cities and peoples around where Israel stood as a country until the exile.
|
|
|
|
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetic song in 9:9-10.
|
|
|
|
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
|
|
|
#### Prophecies against other nations
|
|
The first two verses show that the prophecy concerns neighboring countries. Hamath, Damscus, Tyre and Sidon are cities in areas that were near Israel. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]])
