Zion is a place name often used as a synonym for Jerusalem.The word is first found in Samuel II, 5:7.

It commonly referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion) then the term Zion came to mean the area of Jerusalem where a Jebusite fortress once stood. Later Zion became a metonym for Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem, the city of Jerusalem and generally, the World to Come.
