This is the chapter that tells how the city of Jerusalem became the capital of the kingdom. It has remained as one of the most prominent cities on earth ever since. Bethlehem is called “the city of David” in the New Testament (Luke 2:4). Both places are prominent in Jesus’ life and work, too. He was also born in Bethlehem and He inaugurated His kingdom in Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-47). And just as the “God of hosts” was with David (2 Samuel 5:10), so He is with His Son in the “heavenly Jerusalem” (Hebrews 12:18-29).
