Jerusalem in the time of David and Solomon

Jerusalem Time of David Sol

Map of Jerusalem in David’s Time

This map, by Holman Bible Atlas, shows the map of Jerusalem in David’s time. It highlights the territory and shows the “City of David” and the temple mount. Like the key mentions, this conquest was documented as part of 2 Samuel 5:6-12 and 24:18-25. It is also featured in 1 Chronicles 11:4-9, 1 Kings 5-7 and 9:15 as well as 2 Chronicles 3-4. I love how it shows present-day Israel’s actual size and the enlarged view of the size of the city and temple mount during David and Solomon’s time.

I love this map as it highlights various locations in Bible clearly. Some examples on the map above are the Mount of Olives, Mount Moriah, the city walls around the “City of David” and even an area we speculate could be the king’s pool.

What do you find fascinating about the map of Jerusalem in David’s time? What do you find intriguing about the map? I love seeing where the temple mount was actually located. Do you like having the visual? There will be many more maps added over time in the show notes for Biblical event we have yet to study together. Don’t miss out–keep checking the show notes page for updates.
