The City of Jerusalem (Ἱεροσόλυμα and Ἱεροσολυμίτης)

Mentioned more than a hundred times in the New Testament, the city of “Jerusalem” was located in the central Palestinian highlands.  There are two different spellings for this city in the New Testament.  Ἱεροσόλυμα is used almost exclusively in Matthew-Acts (aside from these books it is only used in Gal. 1:17-18; 2:1).  The other spelling, Ἱεροσολυμίτης, is found several times in Luke and Acts plus Mt. 23:37; Mk. 11:1; Rom. 15:19, 25-26, 31; 1 Cor. 16:3; Gal. 4:25-26; Heb. 12:22; Rev. 3:12; 21:2, 10.
