Zakharia 4:11

4:11 Next I asked the messenger, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the menorah?”

Zakharia 4:14

4:14 So he said, “These are the two anointed ones ¹  who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”

Zakharia 9:2

9:2 as are those of Hamath also, which adjoins Damascus, and Tyre ²  and Sidon, ³  though they consider themselves to be very wise.

Zakharia 14:11

14:11 And people will settle there, and there will no longer be the threat of divine extermination – Jerusalem will dwell in security.

[4:14]  ¹ tn The usual word for “anointed (one),” מָשִׁיַח (mashiakh), is not used here but rather בְנֵי־הַיִּצְהָר (vÿne-hayyitshar), literally, “sons of fresh oil.” This is to maintain consistency with the imagery of olive trees. In the immediate context these two olive trees should be identified with Joshua and Zerubbabel, the priest and the governor. Only the high priest and king were anointed for office in the OT and these two were respectively the descendants of Aaron and David.
