On that day the LORD will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them on that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them. God's protection will strengthen even the weakest Jerusalem resident to warrior capability, while the house of David itself will become a conduit of divine power and presence. The elevation of the weak to Davidic strength suggests that redemption inverts normal power hierarchies, empowering the marginal and vulnerable. The comparison of David's house to God and His angel indicates their role as instruments through which divine presence and power manifest. This verse promises such comprehensive transformation that the distinction between human and divine agency becomes blurred.
