Zechariah 14:10
Compare all
8 And in that day it shall be
That living awaters shall flow from Jerusalem,
Half of them toward1 the eastern sea
And half of them toward1 the western sea;
In both summer and winter it shall occur. 
9 And the Lord shall be aKing over all the earth.
In that day it shall be—
b“The Lord is one,”
And His name one.  
10 All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and ainhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, band from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. 
11 The people shall dwell in it;
And ano longer shall there be utter destruction,
bBut Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.  
12 And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall1 dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths. 
13 It shall come to pass in that day
That aa great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise bhis hand against his neighbor’s hand; 
14 Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.
aAnd the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance. 
15 aSuch also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.  

The Nations Worship the King

16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall ago up from year to year to bworship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep cthe Feast of Tabernacles.  
17 aAnd it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain.

Zechariah 14:10

turned—or, "changed round about": literally, "to make a circuit." The whole hilly land round Jerusalem, which would prevent the free passage of the living waters, shall be changed so as to be "as a (or the) plain" (Isaiah 40:4).

from Geba to Rimmon—Geba (II Kings 23:8) in Benjamin, the north border of Judah. Rimmon, in Simeon (Joshua 15:32), the south border of Judah; not the Rimmon northeast of Michmash. "The plain from Geba to Rimmon" (that is, from one boundary to the other) is the Arabah or plain of the Jordan, extending from the Sea of Tiberias to the Elanitic Gulf of the Red Sea.

it shall be lifted up—namely, Jerusalem shall be exalted, the hills all round being lowered (Micah 4:1).

inhabited in her place— (Zechariah 12:6).

from Benjamin's gate—leading to the territory of Benjamin. The same as Ephraim's gate, the north boundary of the city (II Kings 14:13).

the first gate—west of the city [GROTIUS]. "The place of," etc. implies that the gate itself was then not in existence. "The old gate" (Nehemiah 3:6).

the corner gate—east of the city [GROTIUS]. Or the "corner" joining the north and west parts of the wall [VILLALPANDUS]. GROTIUS thinks "corners" refers to the towers there built (compare Zephaniah 3:6, Margin).

tower of Hananeel—south of the city, near the sheep gate (Nehemiah 3:1; Nehemiah 12:39; Jeremiah 31:38) [GROTIUS].

king's wine-presses— (Song of Solomon 8:11). In the interior of the city, at Zion [GROTIUS].
