The "Daughter of Zion" is a poetic way to address the inhabitants of Jerusalem, emphasizing their special relationship with God. This phrase is rooted in Old Testament prophecy, particularly in <a href="/isaiah/62-11.htm">Isaiah 62:11</a> and <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, where the coming of a savior to Zion is foretold. It highlights the fulfillment of God's promises to His chosen people.<p><b>See, your King comes to you</b><br>This statement announces the arrival of a king, which in the context of the New Testament, refers to Jesus Christ. The use of "your King" signifies a personal and direct relationship between the King and the people of Jerusalem. Historically, kings would enter cities in grand processions, but this King comes in humility. This phrase fulfills the prophecy of <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, which speaks of a king coming to Jerusalem, bringing salvation. It underscores the messianic expectation of the Jews and the recognition of Jesus as the promised Messiah.<p><b>Gentle and riding on a donkey</b><br>The description of the King as "gentle" contrasts with the typical image of a conquering ruler. In ancient times, a donkey was a symbol of peace, as opposed to a horse, which was associated with war. By riding a donkey, Jesus demonstrates His mission of peace and humility. This act fulfills the prophecy in <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, emphasizing the nature of Christ's kingdom as one of peace rather than military might. It also reflects the character of Jesus, who embodies humility and servanthood.<p><b>On a colt, the foal of a donkey</b><br>This specific detail highlights the fulfillment of prophecy with precision. A colt, being a young donkey, signifies purity and newness, symbolizing the new covenant Jesus brings. The mention of both a donkey and its colt emphasizes the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy to the letter. In the cultural context, riding a colt that had never been ridden (as mentioned in other Gospel accounts) signifies a sacred or royal act, further affirming Jesus' messianic role. This imagery connects to the theme of Jesus as the humble King who inaugurates a new era of peace and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/daughter_of_zion.htm">Daughter of Zion</a></b><br>This term refers to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, often used in the Old Testament to personify the city and its people.

As the words stand in Zechariah (we need not here discuss the question as to the authorship or composition of that book) they paint the ideal King coming, not with "chariot" and "horse" and "battle bow," like the conquerors of earthly kingdoms, but as a prince of peace, reviving the lowlier pageantry of the days of the Judges (<a href="/judges/5-10.htm" title="Speak, you that ride on white asses, you that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.">Judges 5:10</a>; <a href="/judges/10-4.htm" title="And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.">Judges 10:4</a>; <a href="/judges/12-14.htm" title="And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on three score and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.">Judges 12:14</a>), and yet exercising a wider dominion than David or Solomon had done, "from sea to sea, and from the river (Euphrates) to the ends of the earth" (<a href="/zechariah/9-10.htm" title="And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace to the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.">Zechariah 9:10</a>). That ideal our Lord claimed to fulfil. Thus interpreted, His act was in part an apparent concession to the fevered expectations of His disciples and the multitude; in part also a protest, the meaning of which they would afterwards understand, against the character of those expectations and the self-seeking spirit which mingled with them. Here, as before, we trace the grave, sad accommodation to thoughts other than His own to which the Teacher of new truths must often have recourse when He finds Himself misinterpreted by those who stand altogether on a lower level. They wished Him to claim the kingdom, that they might sit on His right hand and on His left. Well, He would do so, but it would be a kingdom "not of this world" (<a href="/john/18-36.htm" title="Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.">John 18:36</a>), utterly unlike all that they were looking for. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Tell ye the daughter of Zion.</span> This is from Isaiah (comp. <a href="/zephaniah/3-14.htm">Zephaniah 3:14</a>). The passage in Zechariah begins, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem." The "daughter of Zion" is Jerusalem herself, named from the chief of the hills on which the city was built. Of course, the term includes all the inhabitants. <span class="cmt_word">Behold</span>; marking the suddenness and unexpected nature of the event. <span class="cmt_word">Thy King.</span> A King of thine own race, no stranger, one predestined for thee, foretold by all the prophets, who was to occupy the throne of David and to reign forever. <span class="cmt_word">Unto thee.</span> For thy special good, to make his abode with thee (comp. <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>). <span class="cmt_word">Meek</span>. As Christ himself says, "I am meek and lowly in heart" (<a href="/matthew/11-29.htm">Matthew 11:29</a>), far removed from pomp and warlike greatness; and yet, according to his own Beatitude, the meek shall inherit the earth (<a href="/matthew/5-5.htm">Matthew 5:5</a>), win victories which material forces can never obtain, triumph through humiliation. The original in Zechariah gives other characteristics of Messiah: "He is just, and having salvation;" <span class="accented">i</span>.<span class="accented">e</span>. endowed with salvation, either as being protected by God, or victorious and so able to save his people. <span class="cmt_word">Sitting upon an ass.</span> Coming as King, he could not walk undistinguished among the crowd; he must ride. But to mount a war horse would denote that he was leader of an army or a worldly potentate; so he rides upon an ass, an animal used by the judges of Israel, and chieftains on peaceful errands (<a href="/judges/5-10.htm">Judges 5:10</a>; <a href="/judges/10-4.htm">Judges 10:4</a>); one, too, greatly valued, and often of stately appearance in Palestine. <span class="cmt_word">And</span> (<span class="greek">&#x3ba;&#x3b1;&#x1f76;</span>) <span class="cmt_word">a colt the foal of an ass;</span> such as she asses bear, and one not trained. It is questioned whether the conjunction here expresses addition, implying that Christ mounted both animals in succession, or is merely explanatory, equivalent to videlicet, <span class="accented">an ass, yea, even the foal of an ass</span>. It seems unlikely that, in accomplishing the short distance between Bethphage and Jerusalem (only a mile or two), our Lord should have changed from one beast to the other; and the other three evangelists say expressly that Christ rode the colt, omitting all mention of the mother. The she ass doubtless kept close to its foal, so the prophecy was exactly fulfilled, but the animal that bore the Saviour was the colt. If the two animals represent respectively the Jews and Gentiles (see on ver. 2), it seems hardly necessary for typical reasons that Jesus should thus symbolize his triumph over the disciplined Jews, while it is obvious that the lesson of his supremacy over the untaught Gentiles needed exemplification. The prophet certainly contemplates the two animals in the procession. "The old theocracy runs idly and instinctively by the side of the young Church, which has become the true bearer of the Divinity of Christ" (Lange). No king had ever thus come to Jerusalem; such a circumstance was predicted of Messiah alone, and Christ alone fulfilled it to the letter, showing of what nature his kingdom was. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/21-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">&#8220;Say</span><br /><span class="grk">&#917;&#7988;&#960;&#945;&#964;&#949;</span> <span class="translit">(Eipate)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2036.htm">Strong's 2036: </a> </span><span class="str2">Answer, bid, bring word, command.
