Usage

In the Bible, "Zion" primarily refers to a specific hill in Jerusalem, which is the site of the ancient Jebusite city captured by King David. Over time, the term expanded to represent the entire city of Jerusalem, the dwelling place of God, and symbolically, the people of Israel. Zion is often used in a spiritual sense to denote the heavenly Jerusalem or the ultimate dwelling place of God with His people.
