George, I know you disagree, but my feeling is that "City of David"  refers only to the citadel, not to the entire city. In this case (only…) Jim may be correct – that the normal way to say "city of…" in Hebrew is "Qiryat…".

You’re right that the “City of David” referred only to the citadel, as can be seen in 2 Samuel 5:7, 9.

Jim Stinehardt is wrong—“City of David” is written עיר דוד (YR DWD in 2 Samuel 5:7, 9, 6:10, 12, 16, 12:27, 1 Kings 3:1, 11:27, Isaiah 22:9.
