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
29Keep watch and guard them until you weigh them before the leaders of the priests and the Levites and the leaders of the fathers’ houses of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of YHWH.”
