Joshua 15:63
"As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day."
"In order to secure this location the Hebrews must dispossess a remnant of the Canaanites, who held a fortified position on the mountains of Zion and Moriah. This stronghold was called Jebus, and its inhabitants were known as Jebusites. For centuries Jebus had been looked upon as impregnable; but it was besieged and taken by the Hebrews under the command of Joab, who, as the reward of his valor, was made commander-in- chief of the armies of Israel. Jebus now became the national capital, and its heathen name was changed to Jerusalem. PP 703.2"
The EGW passage directly refers to the Jebusites and their presence in Jerusalem, echoing the verse in Joshua 15:63. While the EGW passage provides more detail, the core idea of the Jebusites' continued presence is directly linked.
