A Capital City

Jerusalem, David's intended capital city, has now been conquered. With the help of Hiram, king of Tyre, David has now built a fine palace to live in. It is to be known as the city of David (v9) which is very significant. It is located in the northernmost part of Judah, actually lying mostly in the land allotted to Benjamin. It has steep cliffs on three sides and the pinnacle of the hill it is built on is called Zion.

David's choice of Jerusalem for a capital city was full of significance which would only become more apparent with the passing of time and the unfolding revelation of the Lord's purposes. Successive kings since David's have not all been godly men, so there are lessons to be learnt on important issues such as the true worship of God. Dealing tactfully with the question, we might also ask whether Jerusalem holds the same relevance today as it did back then?
