Contextual Overview

8And in that day living waters will flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea (Dead Sea) and half of them to the western sea (the Mediterranean); it will be in summer as well as in winter. 9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD shall be the only one [worshiped], and His name the only one. 10All the land will be changed into a plain from Geba to Rimmon, [the Rimmon that is] south of Jerusalem; but Jerusalem will rise and remain [lifted up] on its site from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's wine presses. 11It will be inhabited, for there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security. 12Now this will be the plague with which the LORD shall strike all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. 13In that day a great panic and dismay from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one another's hand, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other.14Judah also will fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be gathered together—gold and silver and garments in great abundance. 15So like this plague [on men] there will be the plague on the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the livestock in those camps.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall come to pass in that day,.... When the vials are pouring out:

[that] a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; the Targum renders it, a great tumult, or noise of killing; and the Septuagint, an ecstasy: it refers to the earthquake, and the slaughter of seven thousand men of name, and the fright upon that, Revelation 11:13

and they shall lay hold everyone on the hand of his neighbour, and shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour; there will be a revolution, upon this tumult, in several of the antichristian states; and the kings of them shall hate the whore, make her desolate, eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, Revelation 17:16 or, "his hand shall be cut off by the hand of his neighbour" u; see Zechariah 11:17, the power of antichrist shall be destroyed by neighbouring Christian princes.

u ועלתה ידו על יד רעהו "et succidetur manus ejus super manum amici sui", Pagninus. So Aben Ezra, and R. Sol. Urbin. Ohel Moed, fol. 43. 1.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A great tumult - And panic fear, such as God said He would send upon the Canaanites before Israel Deuteronomy 7:23, or on Israel itself, if disobedient Deuteronomy 28:20; or which fell on the Philistines after Jonathan’s capture of the garrison at Michmash, when every man’s “sword was against his fellow” . There is no real unity, except in God; elsewhere, since each seeks his own, all must be impregnated with mutual suspicion, ready at any moment to be fanned into a flame; as when, at the blowing of Gideon’s trumpets, “the Lord set every man’s sword against his fellow” Judges 7:22; or when, at Jehoshaphat’s prayer, “the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another” 2 Chronicles 20:32.

And they shall lay hold, every one on the hand of his neighbor - Every one shall be every one’s foe. Each shall, in this tumultuous throng, grasp the other’s hand, mastering him powerfully. “And his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor,” as was prophesied of Ishmael, “his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him” Genesis 16:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zechariah 14:13. A great tumult from the Lord — Among those enemies of his Church, who shall engage and destroy each other.
