19- The City of David
A model showing the location of early Jerusalem, or the City of David. Notice the steep, rugged Kidron Valley to the right (east). By the days of the New Testament the
Central Valley was either filled in or spanned with bridges. Mount Moriah is part of this eastern ridge on which the City of David sits, but is further up the ridge toward
the top of the photo (north).

The City of David, or Jerusalem around 1000 BC. The Ophel and Mount Moriah set to the north of this city.

This is a close up view of the northern end of David's city of Jerusalem. The stepped stone structure supports the palace and fortress that protected the north end of the city.
The east was protected by the Kidron Valley. The west was protected by the Central Valley. The south was protected by the joining of the Hinnom Valley with the
Central and Kidron Valleys.

David's Jerusalem sat on the Eastern Ridge (Old Ancient Core) south of Mount Moriah with the Kidron on the east and the Central Valley to the west.

Today the City of David is part of the city of Silwan and sets south of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.
