시온

Named at 2 Samuel 5:7: “Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. This is David’s city.” At 5:9 David lives in the stronghold, and calls it David’s city. 2 Samuel 6:9–10 says that David was afraid of the LORD that day, and would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house; 6:12, that David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy; and 6:16–17, that the LORD’s ark came into David’s city, and they brought it in and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. 1 Kings 8:1 says that Solomon assembled the elders of Israel with all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ households of the children of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of David’s city, which is Zion; and 9:24, that Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of David’s city to her house which Solomon had built for her. Matthew 21:5 names it in the prophecy it quotes, which addresses its daughter, and John 12:15 quotes, “Don’t be afraid, daughter of Zion.”

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
