Leviticus 26:11

26:11 “‘I will put my tabernacle in your midst and I will not abhor you.

Psalms 78:59

78:59 God heard and was angry;

he completely rejected Israel.

Psalms 106:40

106:40 So the Lord was angry with his people

and despised the people who belong to him.

Zechariah 11:8

11:8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.

tn LXX codexes Vaticanus and Alexandrinus have “my covenant” rather than “my tabernacle.” Cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV “my dwelling.”

tn Heb “and my soul [נֶפֶשׁ, nefesh] will not abhor you.”

tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against his people.”

tn Heb “his inheritance.”

sn Zechariah is only dramatizing what God had done historically (see the note on the word “cedars” in 11:1). The “one month” probably means just any short period of time in which three kings ruled in succession. Likely candidates are Elah, Zimri, Tibni (1 Kgs 16:8-20); Zechariah, Shallum, Menahem (2 Kgs 15:8-16); or Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, Zedekiah (2 Kgs 24:1–25:7).
