• 2 Sam. 5:6-9 indicates to us the moment in history when this change took place, when God chose a new mountain in contrast to Sinai in order to establish the stronghold of David there forever. In actual fact, this transfer could not be realized for Israel at that time on account of the unfaithfulness of the king in responsibility, and the people must wait for the establishment of Christ's reign in order to be introduced into the blessings of this new covenant. For us Christians this transfer has already taken place. "Ye have come to mount Zion," says the apostle. (Heb. 12:22) (“The Strong Hold of Zion: 2 Samuel 5:1-10” by H.L. Rossier)
