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).
1Look, a day of YHWH is coming, and your plunder will be divided in your midst.
2 · This verse (above)
3And YHWH will go out and fight against those nations, as on the day when he fought on the day of battle.
