Usage

In the Hebrew Bible, "Zion" primarily refers to a specific hill in Jerusalem, which is the site of the ancient Jebusite fortress captured by King David. Over time, the term expanded to represent the city of Jerusalem as a whole, the dwelling place of God, and, symbolically, the people of Israel. Zion is often used in prophetic and poetic literature to denote the spiritual and eschatological center of God's kingdom.
