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
12For thus says YHWH: “Look, I will extend to her peace like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and you will suck; at the side you will be carried, and on her knees you will be dandled.
