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
2He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a tower in its midst and also hewed out a winepress in it; and he waited for it to produce grapes, but it produced sour grapes.
