The Ancient Name of Jerusalem?
I _think_ it was just Salem. Jebus* [the name of the cananite tribe that occupied it] was added as prefix when it was conquered by David.
It has been called by many names, of which this is an incomplete list:
- Urushalimum or Urusalim ("Founded by Shalem") - Salem - Mount Moriah - Adonai Urah - Jebus
And here I was thinking the "Jebus" was just meant to be a Simpsons reference. ;)
