What does the Bible say about the prophecy of Zechariah regarding the coming King?

In Zechariah 9:9, the prophet proclaims that the King will come to Jerusalem lowly and riding on a donkey. This prophecy symbolizes the humility and peaceful nature of the coming Messiah, in contrast to the expectations of a powerful earthly ruler. Matthew 21:4-5 confirms this prophecy's fulfillment, as Jesus enters Jerusalem in a manner that reflects His mission of peace rather than conquest. This entry marks the beginning of His final journey before the crucifixion, emphasizing that His kingship is spiritual, rather than political.
