Jebusite

The Jebusites were a Canaanite people who inhabited the area of ancient Jerusalem before its capture by King David around 1000 BCE. The city, then known as Jebus, was located on the site of modern-day Jerusalem. According to biblical accounts, Jerusalem was situated on the frontier between the tribes of Benjamin and Judah and was inhabited by a mixed population, including the Jebusites. King David established Jerusalem as the capital of his kingdom, and his successor, Solomon, built his Temple on land purchased from a Jebusite named Araunah (or Ornan).12
