Short Answer: Jerusalem

Long Answer: There are several different cities that served as capitals of Ancient Israel such as Giv'ah (Gibeah) during the Saul, Hebron during the early Davidic Kingdom leadership, and Jerusalem during the latter Davidic Kingdom and all of Solomon's reign. After the Kingdom of Israel split into the Northern Kingdom of Israel, there was a rapid succession of capitals: Shechem (now called Nablus), Penuel, and Tirzah, before settling on Samaria. Jerusalem remained the capital of Judah up until the Babylonian Exile and during the Hasmonean Kingdom. Jerusalem is the current capital of the State of Israel although most nations refuse to officially recognize it as such because of its disputed status and maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv.
