Jebus
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Trodden hard, or fastness, or "the waterless hill", the name of the Canaanitish city which stood on Mount Zion (Joshua 15:8; 18:16,28 ). It is identified with Jerusalem (q.v.) in Judges 19:10 , and with the castle or city of David (1 Chronicles 11:4,5 ). It was a place of great natural strength, and its capture was one of David's most brilliant achievements (2 Samuel 5:8 ). Copyright Statement
