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
10For the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lament, for they are burned, with no man passing through, and the sound of cattle is not heard; from the birds of the heavens to the beasts, they have fled, they are gone.
