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).
2Sodom ?

A city of the Jordan plain; its site is not known for certain, perhaps near the Dead Sea.
Its people were very wicked (Gen 13:13). God destroyed it with fire, and saved Lot (Gen 19:24-25).
3Gomorrah ?
Today: disputed; near the Dead Sea
A city of the Jordan plain, next to Sodom; its site is not known for certain.
God destroyed it together with Sodom for its great sin (Gen 18:20; 19:24).

15Therefore, thus says YHWH Tsevaot concerning the prophets: Look, I am feeding them wormwood, and I will give them to drink water of poison; for from the prophets of Jerusalem godlessness has gone out into all the land.”
