Jerusalem
Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
The context
6And Ezra rose from before the house of Elohim and went to the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and he went there; bread he did not eat, and water he did not drink, for he was mourning over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
