In Zechariah 9:9-17, there are several similes used to describe different aspects of the prophecy. Some of the similes include comparing the coming king to being righteous and victorious like a just ruler in verse 9, comparing the restoration of Israel to being like a prisoner of hope in verse 12, likening the people of Judah to being like a sword in the hands of the Lord in verse 13, comparing the Lord's protection to being like a warrior's bow in verse 13, and likening the people to being like sparkling jewels in a crown in verse 16.

A simile is a figure of speech where one thing is likened to something else to describe the item more explicitly. The similes in this chapter include:

13 I will bend Judah as I bend my bow

and fill it with Ephraim.

I will rouse your sons, Zion,

against your sons, Greece,

and make you like a warrior's sword.

14 Then the LORD will appear over them;

his arrow will flash like lightning.

15they will be full like a bowl

used for sprinkling the corners of the altar.

16 The LORD their God will save his people on that day

as a shepherd saves his flock.

They will sparkle in his land

like jewels in a crown.
