Thematic Bible: The capital of david's kingdom by divine appointment


Thematic Bible



So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;

For I will defend this city to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.’”

but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
