\n
Zechariah 9:9: Humble king on a donkey invites a slow reading, because Scripture evidence can be powerful only when original context and later use are both kept in view. Begin with the prophetic image: this row is best treated as a signpost to a related canonical item, not as a second independent piece of evidence. Read it carefully: textual evidence has to respect genre, original setting, later interpretation, and the temptation to make a passage do too much. Because this row is unweighted or contextual, its job is to orient the reader rather than to push the totals by itself.
\n
Think of it as a signpost rather than a second witness. It may point toward an important claim, but the main evidential weight belongs to the canonical item named elsewhere in the article.
\n
\nThis row overlaps canonical item `E-SCR-ZECH9-HUMBLE-KING-DONKEY` and should not carry independent Bayes factors. It remains as duplicate/context pending later merge, child/context rewrite, or deprecation decision.\n
