In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.Psalms 132:13–14For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His home:Deuteronomy 23:3No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even to the tenth generation.Isaiah 12:6Cry out and sing, O citizen of Zion, for great among you is the Holy One of Israel.”2 Chronicles 13:7Then worthless and wicked men gathered around him to resist Rehoboam son of Solomon when he was young, inexperienced, and unable to resist them.Psalms 78:68–69But He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.1 Kings 11:43And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David.
