'City of David' in the Bible

The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Yet David did capture the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

Then David took up residence in the stronghold; therefore, it was called the city of David.

So David did not move the ark of God home to the city of David; instead, he took it 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.

As the ark of the covenant of the Lord was entering the city of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David dancing and celebrating, and she despised him in her heart.
