Best Answer

The ancient Israelites found Jerusalem already built by the Jebusites. After evicting them in several important campaigns, King David (by the Biblical Account) established the city as his eternal capital. The Jews have held the city in reverence ever since.

Answer:Jerusalem has been a holy site for Judaism since the time of the Forefathers. According to tradition, the Akeidah (Binding of Isaac, Genesis ch.22) took place in Jerusalem (Maimonides, Hilchot Beit Habechirah). It was originally settled by Hebrews (before Abraham), and later taken by Canaanites.
