Question of the day: Why were the Israelites unable to conquer Jerusalem?
The inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Jebusites, had a distinguished history with the Israelites, going back to the time of Abraham. Some Jewish scholars believe that the Jebusites made an agreement with Abraham that his descendants would not take control of Jerusalem against the will of the Jebusites, and then the Jebusites engraved the covenant into bronze. The existence of this agreement prevented the Israelites from dislodging the Jebusites.
