Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Miniature from the Alba Bible, 1430, an illuminated manuscript translation of the Old Testament made directly from Hebrew into Mediaeval Castilian showing Jews defending Jerusalem's Wall while it is being built. According to the Bible, before King David's conquest of Jerusalem in the 11th century BC the city was home to the Jebusites. The Bible describes the city as heavily fortified with a strong city wall. The city ruled by King David is now believed to be southwest of the Old City walls, outside the Dung Gate. His son King Solomon extended the city walls and then, in about 440 BC, in the Persian period, Nehemiah returned from Babylon and rebuilt them. The scene is illustrated in the style of the Middle Ages. |
