2 Samuel 5:7

_ _ the stronghold of Zion — Whether Zion be the southwestern hill commonly so-called, or the peak now level on the north of the temple mount, it is the towering height which catches the eye from every quarter — “the hill fort,” “the rocky hold” of Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Samuel 5:6-10.
