# Part of modern-day Jerusalem, the south east hill including Mt Zion which is where the Jebusite fortress stood. David conquered this are and renamed the new city he built after himself. The location is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:4-5:

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

2. Bethlehem is also referred to as the city of David, as it was David's birthplace and childhood home. 1 Samuel 17:12 :

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul. The New Testament also refers to it in Luke 2:4 : And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
