ZEPHANIAH—NOTE ON Zephaniah 3:14 The defiled city and nation (v. Zephaniah 3:1) will again be called the beloved daughter of Zion (Isaiah 62:11). Zion is an alternative name for Jerusalem, the city of David (2 Samuel 5:7) and home of the temple (Psalms 9:11). Since all the exiles will be home, Jerusalem will again be capital of all Israel. Full reunion of the northern and southern kingdoms will occur.
