Exegesis
The contrasting clause introduced by veramah {וְרָאֲמָה | wə-raʾămāh} ‘and it shall be raised up’ parallels veyashevah {וְיָשְׁבָה | wə-yāšəḇāh} ‘and it shall dwell’, forming a chiasm of elevation and habitation. The chained construct phrases lemishshaar binyamin through ad yikvei hamelekh outline the city’s perimeter with precision.

y-š-byod–shin–bet
“dwell, inhabit”
In context — Zechariah 14:10
And all the land shall be turned like the Arabah , from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; but it shall be raised up and inhabited in its place, from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
