The city of David (Luke 2:11)

Jerusalem was sometimes known as the "city of David" as it eventually became his capital; but in the present verse the primary reference is, of course, to the Bethlehem in which Jesus was born, as David himself had been, almost a thousand years earlier.

Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever (Ps. 119:151, 152)
