The Jebusites were an ancient Canaanite tribe that inhabited Jerusalem before its conquest by King David around 1000 BCE. Today, there are no direct descendants of the Jebusites as a distinct group; their identity was absorbed into the broader populations of the region over centuries. Modern Jerusalem is a diverse city with Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities, reflecting a rich tapestry of historical influences rather than a continuation of ancient tribes like the Jebusites.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the city was established as early as the Bronze Age, with various cultures and peoples, including the Egyptians and the Amorites, having influence over the region. The Jebusites held control of the city until it was conquered by King David around 1000 BCE, who then established it as the capital of Israel.
