	Jebusite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is the reason why the Jebusites said that they could defeat David's army with the blind and the lame, when David asked the Jebusites to give the city to him as his capital.
		The Jebusites, who are identical with the Hittites, derived their name from the city of Jebus, the ancient Jerusalem, which they inhabited.
		6, the Jebusites had in their city two figures—one of a blind person, representing Isaac, and one of a lame person, representing Jacob—and these figures had in their mouths the words of the covenant made between Abraham and the Jebusites.

		When the Israëlites arrived in Canaän around 1200 BC the Jebusites were ruled by a king named Adonizedek (Joshua 10:1,23), who participated in a coalition of kings from Jarmut, Lachish, Eglon and Hebron against Israël.
		Despite the death of Adonizedek, the Jebusites remained well established in Jebus itself, although their role in Canaan was significantly reduced.
		The last mention of the Jebusites in the Bible is when David purchases from Ornan the Jebusite, also called Araunah (2 Samuel 24:16-25), the threshing-floor on Mount Moriah, a place apparently already consecrated to the grain goddess, in order to build an altar to Yahweh.

		The Bible mentions the Jebusites as one of seven nations doomed to destruction (Genesis 10:16; 15:21; Exodus 3:8,17; 13:5).

		Traditionally, Jerusalem was assumed to be a small and unsophisticated settlement when it was wrested away from the Jebusites, its original inhabitants, around 1000 BC by King David.
		The team also excavated the foundations of two large towers that date back to Jebusite times, and were certainly used to protect the valuable water supply.
		Evidence like this, as well as the new wall and the Jebusite ceramics, suggest that Jerusalem at the time of the Israelite conquest was a relatively large and prosperous city in its own right.

		That Zion was the name of the original Jebusite fortress on this summit, almost directly above Gihon (now known as "the Virgin's Fount") is also accepted by the majority of the authorities on the topography of Jerusalem.
		Immediately to the south lies the ridged hill on the summit or "swelling" of which stood the Jebusite fortress or citadel of Zion (or Ophel), from which the whole area immediately adjoining took its name, when captured by David, as "the city of David".
		That the Jebusites had access to this well or spring from within their wall and fortress is clear : but, in the end, it proved their undoing, for David's men obtained possession of Jebus by means of the tzinnor (A.V. "gutter"), i.e.

	The Water System of Jerusalem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It has been argued by Shiloh (1981a:38; 1981b:170; 1984:23; 1987:219-20; 1992:292) that the Jebusites had not excavated a concatenation of subterranean tunnels connecting the Gihon Spring with their city and that what tunnels do exist were constructed by the Israelites after their conquest of the city.
		The conclusion from these assumptions is that Warren's Shaft was not built by the Jebusites and therefore, the biblical text (II Samuel 5:8) was either unhistorical, or, at the very least, had nothing to do with the water system of Jerusalem.
		As recent geological, philological and archaeological evidence converges in affirming the existence of some type of substantial water system in Jebusite Jerusalem, it appears that a reasonable case can be made for the plausibility of the depiction in II Samuel 5.

	The Jebusites
		As we mentioned in the first article of this series (under the section "The 7 types of evil spirits"), "Jebusite" means "thresher", which refers to the agricultural activity of beating grain out of the husk.
		In the past, these Jebusites took the form of legalistic believers who preached a "gospel" of "Pharisaic" rules and regulations, where believers were taught to abide by and obey these regulations, without being told of their potential in Christ.
		Jebusites believe that "the people" are second-class spiritual citizens who don't deserve spiritual impartation, because such freedom and potential is too "dangerous" in the hands of "plebeians".

		Jerusalem maintained its independence as a Jebusite kingdom until David captured it and it became 'the City of David'.
		It seems that the Jebusites must have converted to the faith of Abraham, and it is likely that ethnic inter-marriage took place, since in later texts they slip out of view.
		This shows that Jebusites were still living in peace in the city.

		The Jebusite city, while almost impregnable, was also very small, approximately 9 acres in size.
		Therefore, King David, who was already living in his new residence, which was not yet strong enough to withstand a major assault from the north, decided to retreat for a time to the old Jebusite fortress, the "Me'tsuda," south of his palace.
		Since the areas to the south, east, and west were fully built-up and stood on the brink of steep slopes, David must have built his new palace north of the walls of the Jebusite city.
