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).
12And I arose at night, I and a few men with me; and I did not tell anyone what my Elohim was putting into my heart to do for Jerusalem; and there was no beast with me except the beast that I was riding.
