JEBUSITES

Domain	Definition
Bible	Jebusites the name of the original inhabitants of Jebus, mentioned frequently among the seven nations doomed to destruction (Gen. 10:16; 15:21; Ex. 3:8, 17; 13:5, etc.). At the time of the arrival of the Israelites in Palestine they were ruled by Adonizedek (Josh. 10:1, 23). They were defeated by Joshua, and their king was slain; but they were not entirely driven out of Jebus till the time of David, who made it the capital of his kingdom instead of Hebron. The site on which the temple was afterwards built belonged to Araunah, a Jebusite, from whom it was purchased by David, who refused to accept it as a free gift (2 Sam. 24:16-25; 1 Chr. 21:24, 25). Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.
Literature	Jebusites (3 syl.), in Dryden's satire of Absalom and Achitophel, stands for the Roman Catholics; so called because England was Roman Catholic before the Reformation, and Jerusalem was called Jebus before the time of David. In this poem, the Jebusites are the Catholics, and the Levites the dissenting clergy. "Succeeding times did equal folly call, Believing nothing, or believing all. The Egyptian rites the Jebusites embraced, When gods were recommended by their taste." [Transubstantiation.] Dryden: Abenium and Achitophel, Part i. 117-123. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
