Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 9
jer-OO-suh-lem
This place shows up in 2 Samuel 9:13: “So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
2 Samuel 9:13
“So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem; for he ate continually at the king’s table. He was lame in both his feet.”
