• The strong hold is Zion, now a strong hold because God is in the midst of her (see Psa. 46); and it is to Zion the prisoners of hope are exhorted to turn, because it is from thence that their Redeemer is to come. The addition of the words “of hope” to the term “prisoners” indicates the class who will participate in the salvation the King brings to Zion; it is those who in their captivity cherish the expectation of the coming Messiah, and who are therefore prisoners of hope. Then the Lord will render double — double in comfort and blessing as compared with what they have suffered. (See Isa. 40:1-2.) (“Zechariah 9” by E. Dennett)
