jer-OO-suh-lem
This place shows up in 2 Samuel 8:7: “David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Samuel 8:7
“David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.”
What kids can learn
