City Of God, one of the names of ancient Jerusalem (Ps 46:4), and its appropriateness is evident from De 12:5.
HOLY CITY. The sacredness of the Temple extended itself in some measure over the city, and hence Jerusalem itself was called the Holy City, and is so distinguished in the East at the present day (Ne 11:1; Da 9:24). SEE JERUSALEM.

Treasure-City
(in the plur. עָרֵי מַסכּנות, cities of provisions, "store-cities," 1Ki 9:19). Pithom and Raamses (q.v.) are mentioned in Ex 1:11, as treasure-cities built by Pharaoh by the unpaid labor of the Hebrews; they were probably magazines or depots for the royal revenue (which was doubtless paid in kind), such as are intimated in Ge 41:48; see 48:26. The Jewish kings had similar places of public deposit (2Ch 8:4,6; 2Ch 16:4; 2Ch 17:2). SEE TREASURE.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
