This needs working In Judaism Jerusalem has been the holiest city since according to the Hebrew Bible King David of Israel first established it as the capital of the united Kingdom of Israel in c 1000 BCE Really so where in the Tanakh did Jerusalem become the holiest city after David negotiated with the Jebusites and where in the Bible is the date c 1000 BCE Precisely because everyone recognizes what the sentence is supposed to mean no one seems to notice that it is extremely clumsy Leads deserve better more accurate writing and claims require good RS backing
