The Tomb of King David
Jerusalem Tour
David, the king of Israel is alive in the people of Israel. It is he who conquered Jerusalem and brought together the Israelites into a great and United Kingdom. He is also called Naim Zimirot Israel for writing the Book of Psalms.
Together we will visit the tomb of King David.
His traditional burial place became an important pilgrimage place for the people of Israel during the Middle Ages. When the Jewish community tried to buy the place from the Franciscan monastery, an argument broke out that eventually led to a Muslim takeover of the site for almost 600 years.
Legends have been created over the ages that describe miracles that occurred here. These legends increased the flow of pilgrims to the scene. Some visitors come to pray, some come to study the history of the place. And many visitors to the place want to be a little more like him.
Learn to combine heroism and gentleness, poetry and wisdom between action and repentance.
I personally remember at this place to check myself even when I’m sure I’m right. King David is able to say, I have sinned against God even when he is furious. This is how I try to learn from him to be more attentive and test myself before I judge other fates.
The State of Israel conquered Mount Zion in the War of Independence. Since then it is open to all and we will join as a recommended part of a private guided tour of ancient Jerusalem.
Together with Jewish Israel tours, we will be able to visit the place and get to know the many stories and legends that have been associated here.
King David’s Tomb is one of many sites that are a part in a full Tour of the city of Jerusalem.
