Zechariah 12:9-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. At that time I will go to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.

10. “I will give David’s family and people in Jerusalem a spirit of kindness and mercy. They will look at me, the one they have stabbed. And they will cry like someone crying over the death of an only child. They will be as sad as someone who has lost a firstborn son.

11. At that time there will be much crying in Jerusalem. It will be like the crying for Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.

12. The land will cry. Each family will cry alone. The family of David and their wives will cry. The family of Nathan and their wives will cry.

13. The family of Levi and their wives will cry. The family of Shimei and their wives will cry.

14. And all the rest of the families and their wives will cry.
