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).

3And I said to them, “The gates of Jerusalem are not to be opened until the sun is hot; and while they are standing, let them shut the doors and bar them; and appoint guards from the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his guard and each in front of his house.”
