Jebus was the ancient name for Jerusalem

When reading the book of Judges, I was surprised that the name of Jerusalem was originally Jebus. That is when the city was controlled by Jebusites, the Canaanite tribe.



It sounds like a mockery of the name of the Lord: Jesus. He was crucified in Jerusalem, which was once called Jebus.



Judges 19:10-11 (KJV):

10 But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.

11 And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
