A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
four carpenters--or "artificers." The several instrumentalities employed, or to be employed, in crushing the "Gentile" powers which "scattered" Judah, are hereby referred to. For every one of the four horns there was a cleaving "artificer" to beat it down. For every enemy of God's people, God has provided a counteracting power adequate to destroy it.

21 For thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069]; How much more when I send [07971] my four [0702] sore [07451] judgments [08201] upon Jerusalem [03389], the sword [02719], and the famine [07458], and the noisome [07451] beast [02416], and the pestilence [01698], to cut off [03772] from it man [0120] and beast [0929]?
21 Then said [0559] I, What come [0935] these to do [06213]? And he spake [0559], saying [0559], These are the horns [07161] which have scattered [02219] Judah [03063], so that [06310] no man [0376] did lift up [05375] his head [07218]: but these are come [0935] to fray [02729] them, to cast out [03034] the horns [07161] of the Gentiles [01471], which lifted up [05375] their horn [07161] over the land [0776] of Judah [03063] to scatter [02219] it.
7 And the bay [0554] went forth [03318], and sought [01245] to go [03212] that they might walk to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776]: and he said [0559], Get you hence [03212], walk to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776]. So they walked to and fro [01980] through the earth [0776].
6 The black [07838] horses [05483] which are therein go forth [03318] into the north [06828] country [0776]; and the white [03836] go forth [03318] after [0310] them; and the grisled [01261] go forth [03318] toward the south [08486] country [0776].
1 And I turned [07725], and lifted up [05375] mine eyes [05869], and looked [07200], and, behold, there came [03318] four [0702] chariots [04818] out [03318] from between two [08147] mountains [02022]; and the mountains [02022] were mountains [02022] of brass [05178].
2 In the first [07223] chariot [04818] were red [0122] horses [05483]; and in the second [08145] chariot [04818] black [07838] horses [05483];
3 And in the third [07992] chariot [04818] white [03836] horses [05483]; and in the fourth [07243] chariot [04818] grisled [01261] and bay [0554] horses [05483].
