1 Chronicles 11:4 -

Jerusalem, which is Jebus . This ancient name of Jerusalem, of Canaanitish date, is found only once beside, viz. in 19:10 , 19:11 ; the Gentile form of the noun, however, Jebusi, is of more frequent occurrence, and sometimes it is found even as the name of the city ( Joshua 15:8 , Joshua 15:63 ; Joshua 18:16 , Joshua 18:28 ). The derivation and meaning of the word are unascertained. Gesenius explains it to mean "a place dry or downtrodden like a threshing-floor."
