Exegesis
The stacked locatives birushalaim {בִּירוּשָׁלַ֛͏ִם | bî-rûšālōyim} ‘in Jerusalem’, immavotav {עִם־אֲבֹתָ֖יו | ʿimm-ʾăvōṯāw} ‘with his fathers’, and the construct chain beir {בְּעִ֥יר | bə-ʾîr} ‘in the city’ + david {דָּוִֽד | dāwîḏ} create a layered geographical and dynastic frame for the burial.
In context — 2 Kings 14:20
And they carried him on the horses and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David .
