Places in this verse
Zion
Today: Mount Zion hill, Jerusalem
A hill in Jerusalem; it first named the fortress David captured, and later sometimes the whole city.
David captured the stronghold of Zion and called it the city of David (2 Sam 5:7). The Psalms and prophets call it the place where God lives among his people (Ps 48:2).
The context
5Her adversaries have become the head; her enemies are at ease, because YHWH has afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions; her little children have gone into captivity before the adversary.
6 · This verse (above)
7Jerusalem remembers, in the days of her affliction and her wandering, all her precious things that were hers from the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the adversary, and there was no one to help her; the adversaries saw her; they laughed at her ruin.
