**Interpretation.** Tradition reads this as a picture of the Messiah, who comes in humility and peace instead of with armies.

### Examples

- Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy king cometh unto thee, he is triumphant, and victorious, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
