INTRODUCTION. David's first military victory after becoming king over the united tribes

was the capture of Jerusalem. From the time of Joshua's conquest of Canaan, Jerusalem

remained a Jebusite stronghold within the territory of Judah. David took the city and made it his capital and home (II Sam. 5:6-10). He then made Jerusalem the religious center of Israel by bringing to the city the ark of the covenant which had been at Kirjath Jearim since its capture and return by the Philistines in Samuel's day (I Sam. 7:1-2; II Sam. 6:1-19).
