Zechariah 14:10

“All the land shall be turned as a plain, etc.] That is, all the land of Israel round about Jerusalem, which was encompassed with mountains, (<19C502>Psalm 125:2) but now these mountains shall become a plain, that that may be seen; since it follows, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; Geba was a city in the tribe of Benjamin, on the northern border of the land, (<062117>Joshua 21:17) and Rimmon was in the tribe of Judah, given to Simeon on the southern part, (<061532>Joshua 15:32 19:7) so that from Geba to Rimmon was the same as from Geba to Beersheba, which was in the same tribe, (<122308>2 Kings 23:8) and, according to the Jewish writers, the south of Jerusalem was a plain; wherefore…”

“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" (Isa 40:4). from Geba to Rimmon--Geba (Kg2 23:8) in Benjamin, the north border of Judah. Rimmon, in Simeon (Jos 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 (Mic 4:1). inhabited in…”

“All the land shall be turned as a plain from Rimmon to Gebah - Kimchi: “All the land, which is round about Jerusalem, which is now mountains, as is said, “The mountains are round about Jerusalem” Psalms 125:2, shall be level as a plain, but Jerusalem itself shall be exalted, and high above all the earth.” The dignity of the Church, as “a city set upon a hill, which cannot be hid” Matthew 5:14, is symbolized here by the sinking of all around and its own uprising; as in Micah and Isaiah, “The mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills” Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1. Gebah, literally, hill,” now, “Jeva,” was a frontier-garrison,…”

“All the land - The whole land of Judea, a type of the whole earth, shall be filled with the knowledge of God. As a plain - All high, uneven places, all rocky and barren grounds, shall be changed into fruitful vineyards. So the church of Christ shall be fruitful, humble and lovely. Geba - The north boundary of the land. Rimmon - The south boundary of Judea. Jerusalem - Which taken mystically, is the church of Christ, and by the repair of all to this Jerusalem, is shadowed out of the compleat building of the church on all sides, north, south, west and east. Lifted up - Raised out of the dust. Benjamin's gate - Benjamin's gate north - east, corner - gate north - west; Hananiel's tower south,…”

“14:10 The towns Geba and Rimmon represent the north–south extent of the district including Jerusalem.”

“the land: Zac 4:6, Zac 4:7; Isa 40:3, Isa 40:4; Luk 3:4-6 turned: or, compassed from Geba: Jos 21:17; Kg1 15:22; Isa 10:29 Rimmon: Jos 15:32; Jdg 20:45, Jdg 20:47, Jdg 21:13; Ch1 4:32, Ch1 6:77 inhabited: or, shall abide, Zac 2:4, Zac 12:6; Jer 30:18 from Benjamin's: Ch2 25:23; Neh 3:1, Neh 12:39; Jer 31:38-40, Jer 37:13, Jer 38:7 Zechariah 14:11”
