Jebusites

The Jebusites were the Canaanite inhabitants of Jebus (later Jerusalem), descended from Canaan son of Ham (Gen. 10:16; 15:21). They appear consistently in the lists of nations to be dispossessed from the land (Ex. 3:8, 17; Deut. 7:1; Josh. 3:10). Despite being in the territory allotted to Benjamin and Judah, neither tribe fully dislodged them (Josh. 15:63; Judg. 1:21), and the Jebusites held their stronghold on the hill of Zion until David's capture of the city. Araunah (or Ornan) the Jebusite owned the threshing floor David purchased to build an altar where the destroying angel stopped (2 Sam. 24:16–24; 1 Chr. 21:18–26) — the site that became the location of Solomon's temple. The peaceful integration of some Jebusites into Israel (Zech. 9:7 may allude to this) stands alongside the general dispossession of Canaanite peoples.
