This was the name afterwards given to the castle and royal palace on Mount Zion, as distinguished from [[Jerusalem]] generally ( 1 Kings 3:1; 8:1 ), It was on the south-west side of Jerusalem, opposite the temple mount, with which it was connected by a bridge over the Tyropoeon valley. <p> (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 ). </p> <p> </p> <div> <p> [[Copyright]] StatementThese dictionary topics are from M.G.

| 2 Samuel 5:7[[Jerusalem]][[Zion]]Ebla <p> [[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 ). </p> <p> 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]] . </p> <p> 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 ). </p> <p> </p> | | <p> a section in the southern part of Jerusalem, embracing Mount Zion, where a fortress of the [[Jebusites]] stood. (See [[Jebus]]). David reduced the fortress, and built a new palace and city, to which he gave his own name ( 1 Chronicles 11:5). Bethlehem, the native town of David, is also called, from that circumstance, the city of David ( Luke 2:11). </p> |
