'City of David' in the Bible

Then the Jebusites said to David, “You shall not come in here.” But David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

Then David lived in the stronghold; so it was called the City of David.

So David did not bring the ark with him to the City of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

David built houses for himself in the City of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

It happened that as the ark of the covenant of the Lord came to the City of David, Michal [David’s wife] the daughter of Saul, looking down through a window, saw King David leaping and dancing [in celebration]; and she despised him in her heart.
