Over 3,000 years ago King David left Hebron for a small hilltop city known as Jerusalem, he established it as the unified capital for all the tribes of Israel. Next to the City of David, King Solomon built the first glorious temple on top of Mount Moriah, the site where Abraham bound his son Isaac. Since then, this hilltop became one of the most important sites in the world.

“At Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.” 2 Samuel 5:5
