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
10All the land will be turned like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem; and it will be lifted high and will dwell in its place, from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the First Gate, to the Gate of the Corners, and from the Tower of Hananel to the winepresses of the king.
