My Sketch: Citadel, Jerusalem, Israel; aka Tower of David.
In historical fact, this ancient stone-rock fortress, nor the tower, had nothing to do with King David of the Bible. Part of the fortress was built/ rebuilt by Herod, yes, that is the same Herod who slaughtered babies in trying to get rid of Jesus at his birth. This is the well known Christmas story that is in the Bible (Gospel of Matthew, chapter 2). The Citadel was rebuilt by Mamluk sultan in 1310, and the present Old City Wall was built in 1540s by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. The whole Citadel compound is now a museum. With the passing of time, all glory falls to ashes.
"All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls
but the word of the Lord remains forever.
(Quote from the Bible, the Book of First Peter, chapter 1 verses 24-25)
我的素描：耶路撒冷的城堡; 又名大卫塔。
事实上，这座古老的石头建的堡垒，连塔楼，都与圣经的大卫王无关。倒有其中一部分是由希律建造/重建的，是的，就是在耶稣出生时试图把耶稣除掉而大杀婴孩的那一个希律。这是圣经中众所周知的圣诞故事（马太福音2章）。
城堡于1310年由Manluk苏丹重建，现在的老城墙是在1540年由奥斯曼帝国苏丹苏莱曼大帝建造的。
整个城堡大院现在是一个博物馆。随着时间的转移，一切荣耀都灰飞烟灭。
“凡有血气的，尽都如草；
他的美荣都像草上的花。
草必枯干，花必凋谢；
唯有主的道是永存的。 "
（引自<圣经>彼得前书 第1章24-25节）
