Jerusalem is the what ever boundaries the city happens to have now.

The City of David is much smaller and older part. I think the boundary is the wall but don't quote me on that because it has been some time since I looked it up and I don't have time now.

City of David is south of the current walls of Jerusalem’s Old City.

The current walls of the Old City are around 500 years old.

The first mention in the Old Testament of Jerusalem as the “City of David” is found in 2 Samuel 5:7-9

Hope this helps.
