Verse 10
The land around Jerusalem would become level whereas Jerusalem itself would be elevated (apparently due to a great earthquake; cf. Isaiah 2:2; Revelation 16:18-19). In view of the place names mentioned, this verse probably refers to the literal city and its topography. Geba stood about six miles north of Jerusalem (2 Kings 23:8), and the Rimmon south of Jerusalem stood about 35 miles southwest of it (Joshua 15:32; Nehemiah 11:29). The sites mentioned in Jerusalem were on the east, west, north, and south sides of the city, indicating its totality. [Note: Baldwin, p. 204.]
