Best Answer

After David became the King if Israel and Judea, he made Jerusalem as the center of the kingdoms and moved there after the death of Saul, to keep his power consolidated. Part of this was political, part of this was faith driven. (There is more to it, but that is it in a nutshell.)

Yes. Jerusalem became known as the City of David after David made it his capital. Bethlehem is also referred to by the same title because it was the birthplace of David.
