【Israel & Jordan Tour】(35) King David's Cemetery.

The tomb of King David on Mount Zion on the south side of Jerusalem's Old City is a very important shrine for Jews. Zion, which means "sanctuary" or "temple" in ancient Hebrew (the last refuge of mankind in the movie "The Matrix" is called "Zion"), is also said to be the place where Jehovah crowned King David.

There is no information to verify the place where King David was buried, but it is generally believed to be near the ruins of the current city of David not far from the Old City of Jerusalem.
