They inhabited the region around Jerusalem, known as Jebus before King David conquered it (<a href="/2_samuel/5-6.htm">2 Samuel 5:6-9</a>). The Jebusites are significant in biblical history as they were one of the nations God commanded the Israelites to drive out of the Promised Land (<a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1</a>). Archaeological evidence suggests that the Jebusites were well-established in the area, with fortified cities and a distinct culture. Their presence in Jerusalem highlights the city's ancient significance and strategic importance. The eventual conquest of Jebus by David symbolizes the establishment of Jerusalem as the political and spiritual center of Israel, foreshadowing its future role in biblical prophecy and as the city of the great King, a type of Christ's eternal reign.<p><b>the Amorites</b><br>The Amorites were another prominent Canaanite group, often depicted as formidable and warlike. They are frequently mentioned in the context of the conquest narratives in the Old Testament (<a href="/joshua/10-5.htm">Joshua 10:5</a>). The Amorites occupied a large territory, including parts of the hill country and the Transjordan region. Historically, they were known for their influence and power in the ancient Near East, with connections to the Babylonian and Assyrian empires. Theologically, the Amorites represent the persistent opposition to God's people and His purposes, serving as a reminder of the spiritual battles faced by believers. Their defeat by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership (<a href="/joshua/10-10.htm">Joshua 10:10-11</a>) is a testament to God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises, prefiguring the ultimate victory of Christ over sin and death.<p><b>the Girgashites</b><br>The Girgashites are one of the lesser-known Canaanite tribes listed among the nations inhabiting the Promised Land (<a href="/genesis/10-16.htm">Genesis 10:16</a>). Little is known about their specific location or cultural practices, as they are not as frequently mentioned as other Canaanite groups. However, their inclusion in the biblical narrative underscores the comprehensive nature of God's command to Israel to possess the land He had promised to their ancestors (<a href="/deuteronomy/7.htm">Deuteronomy 7:1</a>). The Girgashites, like the other Canaanite nations, symbolize the spiritual and moral corruption that Israel was to avoid. Their presence in the land serves as a backdrop for the unfolding story of redemption, where God's holiness and justice are displayed in His dealings with the nations, ultimately pointing to the need for a Savior who would bring true and lasting peace.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jebusites.htm">Jebusites</a></b><br>An ancient Canaanite tribe that inhabited Jerusalem before its conquest by King David.
