 14And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

• The meaning of the carpenters is not given, only Jehovah assures the prophet, that as He used the four horns to scatter His people, so He will provide four instruments, at the proper moment, to fray (that is, to terrify; or to drive them away with fear — see Psa. 48:4-6) them, and to cast out the Gentile powers who had served themselves in scattering His people. We thus learn that God still retains the government of the earth in His hands. (“Zechariah 1” by E. Dennett)
