Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The city now known as Jerusalem has known many wars and had various periods of occupation in its long history. Genesis 14: 18, mentions a city called Salem, ruled by King Melchizedek, a "priest of God", which most Jewish commentators believe refers to Jerusalem. According to one Jewish tradition reported by the midrash, it was founded by Abraham's forefathers Shem and Eber, and in the midrash Melchizedek is equated with Shem. The Amarna letters contain correspondence from Abdi-Heba, king of Urusalim (the name of Jerusalem in the Late Bronze Age). At this time Jerusalem had a powerful population capable of complex building projects. By the 17th century BCE, the cananaanites had built massive walls (4 and 5 ton boulders, 26 feet high) on the eastern side of Jerusalem to protect their ancient water system.
