Zechariah 14:5

UzziahAzal
Protection and safety

3 Then the LORD will go out to fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle.

4 On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half the mountain moving to the north and half to the south.

You will flee by My mountain valley, for it will extend to Azal. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with Him.

6 On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost.

7 It will be a day known only to the LORD, without day or night; but when evening comes, there will be light.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
