To which city did David move his capital and bring the Ark of the Covenant?

Explanation:
David moves the capital to Jerusalem and brings the Ark there to centralize both royal authority and worship in one city. After conquering Jerusalem (the Jebusite stronghold), he establishes it as the capital of the united kingdom, often called the City of David or Zion. He then transports the Ark from Kiriath-Jearim to Jerusalem, linking the throne with the covenant presence and making Jerusalem the religious and political heart of Israel. Hebron housed David earlier when he ruled over Judah, but not the entire nation; Bethlehem is his hometown; Jericho isn’t involved in this move. So Jerusalem is the city that fits both actions.
