According to the Bible, it was a fortified city of the Jebusites, built (as evidenced by remnants of the wall in the lower part) in the thirteenth century BC. When he succeeded to the throne of Saul, the capital of the kingdom of Israel was the city of Hebron, south of Jerusalem. The eighth year of his reign he began to look more than a safe haven, as the military clashes with their neighbors the Philistines increased. Attracted the attention of the king of Jerusalem, but Jebusite forced him to retreat, invulnerable for strong walls.
Capture of the fortress Jebusites - the Bible (Second Book of Kings 5:7), it is called Zion - is another raises questions of the biblical story, the authenticity of which was proved by archaeologists. The Bible states that David did not have the possibility to destroy the city-building, announced that his troops would make the chief of those who manage to capture the impregnable fortress. One of his army, Joab went into the city, using tsinorom - this word is rare in the Bible and refers to drainage pipe or channel.

As it was for tsinor, Joab allowed to seize the fortress Jebusites, remained a mystery until 1867, when a British engineer and explorer Charles Warren, who worked in the London fund study of Palestine, found the so-called "mine Warren." Exploring the tunnel to Hezekiah, he found a vertical shaft length of over fifty feet, which led to the level of water source Tihon to the surface and ends at the ruins of the ancient city of the Jebusites. This mine is expected to use the city residents to take water within the city walls. Over time, a hypothesis that this is a tsinor (shaft, a channel) through which Joab to get into the besieged city - a kind of trick with the Trojan horse, only without the horse.
Research on source rock and its surroundings have allowed to probe for other mines and chimneys, as well as the tunnels leading up to the tunnel to Hezekiah - one of them, perhaps dating from the sixteenth century BC (fig. 126). Just know how to avail himself of the tunnel, Joab, "captain Warren or the other, but no one has no doubt that this is how he got inside the castle. Thus, these features of the tunnel confirm credibility of the biblical stories about the capture of Jerusalem, King David. In addition, they show us the exact location of the City of David.
