Zion


Behold, how good and pleasant it is / when brothers dwell in unity! ... It is like the dew of Hermon, / which falls on the mountains of Zion! (Psalm 133)

King David takes the stronghold of Zion

After David was anointed king over all Israel, King David and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusite inhabitants of the land who said to David, "You will not come in here, but the blind and the lame will ward you off"--thinking, "David cannot come in here." David said, "Whoever would strike the Jebusites, let him get up the water shaft to attack 'the lame and the blind,' who are hated by David's soul," and defeated them. Therefore it is said, "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house." David lived in the stronghold and called it the city of David. And David built the city all around from the Millo inward. And David became greater and greater for the LORD, the God of hosts, was with him. (2 Samuel 5:1-10)

Bible

God had Jeremiah proclaim towards the north from Judah for faithless Israel to return. He will not be angry forever if they acknowledge their guilt. The LORD is their master; He will take them, one from a city and two from a family, and bring them to Zion. (Jeremiah 3:6-14)
