Zechariah 12:13

11 In that day there shall be a great ^amourning in Jerusalem, ^blike the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12 ^aAnd the land shall mourn, every family by itself: the family of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of ^bNathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;

13 the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves;

14 all the families that remain, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves.

What Does Zechariah 12:13 Mean?

Zechariah 12:10-14

This prophecy affords us insight into the painfully heartfelt repentance of an entire nation across every social strata. This ought to give us a clear picture of the depth of feeling God expects when we recognize what our sins have produced. It is very evident that mourning accompanies and motivates the kind of change that God approves. It is no wonder, then, that Jesus says that mourners are blessed (Matthew 5:4).
