Zechariah 2: 8-11: "For thus says the LORD of hosts, 'After glory He has
sent me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you,
touches the apple of His eye. For behold, I will wave My hand over them, so
that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the LORD
of Hosts has sent Me. Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for
behold I am coming and will dwell in your midst,' declares the LORD. 'And
many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My
people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of
hosts has sent Me to you.'"
Here God (the LORD of hosts) says that God (the One who has a people that
are the apple of His eye) has sent Him.
God (the LORD of hosts) says that He will wave His hand over them, so that
they will know that God (the LORD of hosts) has sent Him.
God (the LORD of hosts) says He will come and everyone will know that God
(the LORD of hosts) has sent Him
So the LORD of hosts is being sent by the LORD of hosts
Hmmm, seems pretty clear to me.
And here is your context, taken from the King James:
6 Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD:
for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the
LORD.
7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto
the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple
of his eye.
9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil
to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell
in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be
my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that
the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall
choose Jerusalem again.
13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his
holy habitation.
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the
LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the
LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out
of the fire?
Clearly the LORD of host is sending the LORD of hosts.
There are two (2) LORDs of hosts here.

Wrongly dividing the Word is not fun either. So I feel I have to keep this
up.
