David's Tomb ( Kever David Ha-Melekh; Maqam Al-Nabi Daoud) is a site that, according to an early-medieval (9th-century) tradition, is associated with the burial of the biblical King David. Historians, archaeologists and Jewish religious authorities do not consider the site to be the actual resting place of King David. It occupies the ground floor of a former church, whose upper floor holds the Cenacle or "Upper Room" traditionally identified as the place of Jesus' Last Supper and the original meeting place of the early Christian community of Jerusalem.Murphy-O'Connor, Jerome (2008). pp. 115–118.
