David Captures the Jebusite (Canaanite) Fortress of Zion in Jerusalem
Jerusalem however, due to its fortification, was not that easy to take and the Jebusites mocked King David. King David nevertheless, had a strategy that he later on records in a riddle in the chronicles of the king. It involves what is called in Hebrew a “tzinor” or a “conduit”. According to a hint in the Bible, it says “he who touches or reaches the conduit.” David was victorious and conquered Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 5:7
And David conquered the stronghold of Zion; which is now the City of David.
