We unravel the murky history of Jerusalem’s conquest, where nothing is as simple as it seems. The Bible tells us the tribe of Judah "took" the city, but did they? From Abraham’s encounter with Melchizedek to Joshua’s victories, Jerusalem remains a prize that no one seems to truly hold. The Jebusites lingered, the city was burned but never fully conquered, and through it all, the Israelites’ inability to erase the city's inhabitants foreshadows their spiritual decline. It’s a tale of incomplete victories, forgotten kings, and a city that wouldn’t die.
