“An oracle.
The word of Yahweh is
Against the land of Hadrach.
It will rest upon Damascus.
The capital of Aram,
With Hamath
That borders on Damascus,
As do all the tribes of Israel,
Belong to Yahweh.”
This second part of this book of Zechariah is a series of oracles that presume something like the conquest of Alexander the Great in 333 BCE. Apparently, Yahweh was on the side of the Greeks in their conquest. Thus, Yahweh was against Aram, present day Syria, as well as the cities of Hadrach, Hamath, and Damascus, the capital of Aram. All of these places belonged to Yahweh, just as all the tribes of Israel also belonged to Yahweh.
