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 ).","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Zechariah%2011%3A8/1"}

The Code of Hammurabi prescribes a monthly wage for a laborer of one shekel. If this were the case in Israel, 30 shekels would be the wages for 2 1/2 years (R. de Vaux, Ancient Israel , pp. 76, 204-5). For other examples of “thirty shekels” as a conventional payment, see K. Luke, “The Thirty Pieces of Silver ( Zech. 11:12 f.), Ind TS 19 (1982): 26-30. Luke, on the basis of Sumerian analogues, suggests that “thirty” came to be a term meaning anything of little or no value (p. 30). In this he follows Erica Reiner, “Thirty Pieces of Silver,” in Essays in Memory of E . A . Speiser , AOS 53, ed. William W. Hallo (New Haven, Conn.: American Oriental Society, 1968), 186-90. Though the 30 shekels elsewhere in the OT may well be taken literally, the context of Zech. 11:12 may indeed support Reiner and Luke in seeing it as a pittance here, not worth considering (cf. Exod 21:32 ; Lev 27:4 ; Matt 26:15 ).","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Zechariah%2011%3A12/2"}

Zechariah once more is role-playing but this time he is a “foolish” shepherd, i.e., one who does not know God and who is opposed to him (cf. Prov 1:7; 15:5; 20:3; 27:22 ). The individual who best represents this eschatological enemy of God and his people is the Antichrist (cf.
