Charles Spurgeon Commentary Zechariah 11:6

"For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor`s hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them." — Zechariah 11:6 (ASV)

Christ gathered a few around him who were his true sheep, who knew his voice, and these he fed; they were the flock of the slaughter. They, most of them, died a martyr's death, and they were the poor and despised among men.
