This is my map of Southern Israel showing Salem city, or Jebus, the city of the Jebusites.
Salem, Jebus, and Jerusalem are historical names for the same ancient city, representing different eras in its timeline or history.

Salem (Shalem): The earliest recorded name of the city, appearing in the Book of Genesis during the time of Abraham (around the 21st to 19th century B.C). It was ruled by the King-Priest Melchizedek. The name means “peace” or “completeness”.

Jebus: The Canaanite name of the city used when it was a heavily fortified mountain fortress controlled by the Jebusites. It was called Jebus until King David conquered it around 1000 B.C.

The city of David: Once David had captured the city (in 1,000 B.C.) he renamed it “The city of David”.

Jerusalem (Yerushalayim / Urusalimu): Etymologically, linguistics and ancient geopolitical records (like the 14th-century B.C. Amarna Tablets) show the city was called Urusalimu (“City of Shalem”, named after the Canaanite deity Shalem). The name combines elements of its past—integrating Salem (peace) with terms meaning “foundation” or “teaching of peace”.

Zion: Tzion (commonly spelled Zion) primarily refers to Mount Zion in Jerusalem or the biblical name for the city itself. Tzion/Zion is a hill located just outside the southern walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.

Date
Around 2,000 B.C.
