<p> ''''' jē´bus ''''' , ''''' jeb´ū̇ ''''' - ''''' sı̄ ''''' , ''''' jeb´ū̇ ''''' - ''''' zı̄t ''''' ( יבוּס , <i> ''''' yebhūṣ ''''' </i> , היבוּסי , <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' yebhūṣı̄ ''''' </i> ): "Jebus" is an old name for Jerusalem (&nbsp; Judges 19:10 , &nbsp;Judges 19:11; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:5 parallel &nbsp; 2 Samuel 5:6-9 , "the same is Jerus"; see preceding article). "Jebusi" (literally, "Jebusite") is also used as a name for the city in the King James Version (&nbsp;Joshua 18:16 , &nbsp;Joshua 18:28; compare &nbsp;Joshua 15:8 ); the Revised Version (British and American) correctly renders "Jebusite" (see [[Jerusalem]] ). "Jebusites," for the people (in the King James Version &nbsp;Genesis 15:21; &nbsp;Exodus 3:8 , &nbsp;Exodus 3:17 , etc.), does not occur in [[Hebrew]] in the plural; hence, in the Revised Version (British and American) is always rendered in the singular, "Jebusite." The "Jebusite" is said in &nbsp;Genesis 10:16; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 1:14 to be the 3rd son of Canaan, i.e. of the country of Canaan. [[Elsewhere]] he represents a tribe separate from the Canaanites. He stands between [[Heth]] and the [[Amorite]] (compare &nbsp; Numbers 13:29; &nbsp;Joshua 11:3; &nbsp;Ezekiel 16:3 , &nbsp;Ezekiel 16:15 ). In the lists of the peoples inhabiting [[Palestine]] the "Jebusite" is always placed last, a fact indicative, probably, of their smaller number. </p> <p> To what race the [[Jebusites]] belonged is doubtful. Their name does not seem Semitic, and they do not make their appearance till after the patriarchal period. </p> <p> The original name of Jerusalem was Babylonian, Uru-Salim, "the city of Salim," shortened into [[Salem]] in &nbsp;Genesis 14:18 and in the inscriptions of the [[Egyptian]] kings Ramses Ii and Ramses III. In the <i> Tell el-Amarna [[Letters]] </i> (1400 bc) Jerusalem is still known as Uru-Salim, and its king bears a Hittite name, implying that it was at the time in the possession of the Hittites. His enemies, however, were closing around him, and one of the tablets shows that the city was eventually captured and its king slain. These enemies would seem to have been the Jebusites, since it is after this period that the name "Jebus" makes its appearance for the first time in the Old [[Testament]] (&nbsp; Judges 19:10 , &nbsp;Judges 19:11 ). </p> <p> The [[Jebusite]] king at the time of the conquest was Adoni-zedek, who met his death at Beth-boron (&nbsp;Joshua 10:1; in &nbsp;Joshua 10:5 the word "Amorite" is used in its [[Babylonian]] sense to denote the inhabitants of [[Canaan]] generally). The Jebusites were a mountain tribe (&nbsp; Numbers 13:29; &nbsp;Joshua 11:3 ). Their capital "Jebus" was taken by the men of Judah and burned with fire (Jdg 18), but they regained possession of, and held, the fortress till the time of David (&nbsp;2 Samuel 5:6 ). </p> <p> When Jerusalem was taken by David, the lives and property of its Jebusite inhabitants were spared, and they continued to inhabit the temple-hill, David and his followers settling in the new City of David on Mt. [[Zion]] (&nbsp;Joshua 15:8 , &nbsp;Joshua 15:63; &nbsp;Judges 1:21; &nbsp;Judges 19:11 ). And as [[Araunah]] is called "king" (&nbsp;2 Samuel 24:23 ), we may conclude that their last ruler also had been lowed to live. His name is non-Sem, and the various spellings of it (compare &nbsp;1 Chronicles 21:15 , "Ornan") indicate that the Hebrew writers had some difficulty in pronouncing it. The Jebusites seem ultimately to have blended with the [[Israelite]] population. </p>
