Holman Bible Dictionary [1]
David moved the ark of the covenant into the city of David ( 2 Samuel 6:12 ) and built houses in the city, including a place for the ark ( 1 Chronicles 15:1 ). David was buried there ( 1 Kings 2:10 ), establishing the burial place for all kings of Judah ( 1 Kings 11:43; 1 Kings 14:31; 1 Kings 15:8; 2 Kings 8:24; 2 Kings 9:28; 2 Kings 12:21; 2 Kings 14:20; 2Kings 15:7, 2 Kings 15:38; 2 Kings 16:20 ). Solomon lived there until he built his own palace and the Temple outside the traditional city of David ( 1 Kings 3:1 ). At that time he moved the ark of the covenant from the city of David to the new Temple ( 1 Kings 8:1 ) and moved his wife to the new palace ( 1 Kings 9:24 ). Solomon did repair the defense system of the old city ( 1 Kings 11:27 ).
Both Hezekiah (2Chronicles 32:5, 2 Chronicles 32:30 ) and Manasseh strengthened the defenses of the city of David, concerned especially with the water supply provided by the Gihon spring ( 2 Chronicles 33:14 ). See Gihon .
Nehemiah's day saw “stairs that go down from the city of David,” presumably to the rest of the city ( Nehemiah 3:15; compare Nehemiah 12:37 ). 2 . Luke used “city of David” to refer to Bethlehem, where both David and Jesus were born ( Luke 2:4 ,Luke 2:4, 2:11 ).
Easton's Bible Dictionary [2]
(2) Bethlehem is called the "city of David" ( Luke 2:4,11 ), because it was David's birth-place and early home ( 1 Samuel 17:12 ).
