What happened in 70 CE to Jerusalem?
In 70 CE, Jerusalem was besieged and subsequently destroyed by the Roman Empire during the First Jewish-Roman War. The Roman general Titus led the siege, which resulted in significant loss of life and the destruction of the Second Temple, a central place of worship for Jews.

but David could not build the temple because he was a man of war.(1Kings 5:2-18)
God said: "Blood in great quantity you have spilled, and great wars you have waged. You will not build a house to my name, for a great deal of blood you have spilled on the earth before me." (1Chronicles 22:8; 28:3) However, God promised that the kingship would remain in David's family, and his son Solomon, whose name is from a root meaning "peace," would build the temple.-2Samuel 7:1-16, 25-29; 1Chronicles 17:1-27; 2Chronicles 6:7-9; Psalms 89:3, 4, 35, 36(2Chronicles 3:1-4:22)

How did Micah predict that Jerusalem was getting destroyed?
Micah wrote during the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, so he was keenly aware of the fate that befell Israel and equally aware that the smaller and more vulnerable kingdom of Judah could suffer the same fate. Assyria had already transferred much of the territory of Judah to its neighbours and Jerusalem stood virtually alone. No doubt many were predicting the destruction of Jerusalem would follow that of the northern kingdom.
He seems to have been a religious reformer and possibly a member of the Yahweh-only party. In chapter 6, he scoffs at the Jews who sacrifice lavish offerings and perhaps even their first-born, when what the Lord requires is for them to do justice, love mercy and be humble.
In 3:12, he rhetorically tells the people that Zion will be ploughed and Jerusalem become heaps. This is written in the context of criticising the corruption that had infiltrated their religion. Chapter 4 appears to immediately contradict 3:12 because it tells of the rebuilding of the Temple and of nations coming to Jerusalem, but chapter 4 is regarded by scholars as a post-Exilic insertion, so this reference is to the period after the Babylonians (not the Assyrians) destroyed it.
In what year Jerusalem was made the capital of Israel?
Concerning Ancient Israel
We do not know the exact year that King David conquered the city from the Jebusites, but it would have been around 1000 B.C.E.
Concerning Modern Israel
In 1949, after the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949, West Jerusalem was firmly in Israeli control. It was at this point that Israel declared Jerusalem to be its capital. Since it only controlled the West, it was de facto understood not to include East Jerusalem under Jordanian control.
In 1967, when Israel acquired the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Israeli capital began to become both West and East Jerusalem, although most government offices remain in West Jerusalem. In 1980, Israel officially annexed East Jerusalem to the Municipality of Jerusalem which created one unified capital de jure in Israel. The International Community condemned this act.
