That is correct according to historical and biblical accounts.
Around 1000 BCE, King David captured the fortified city of Jerusalem (then a Jebusite stronghold known as Salem or Jebus) and established it as the capital of the united monarchy of Israel and Judah. Its strategic location right on the border between the territories of the tribes of Benjamin and Judah made it a politically neutral and unifying choice for the new kingdom.
Following its capture, David brought the Ark of the Covenant to the city, laying the foundation for Jerusalem to become the religious and political heart of the Jewish nation—a status it maintained for centuries.
Would you like to explore more about Jerusalem's history during the time of David and his successor, Solomon, or perhaps look at what archaeology tells us about this period?
