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).
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.
8 · This verse (above)
9Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not remember her end, and she has come down astonishingly; she has no one to comfort her. “See, YHWH, my affliction, for the enemy has made himself great.”
