#5 A young King David and his band of Mighty Men stealthily entered and took the ancient city by crawling through a tunnel built to bring spring water into the city's fortified walls. Silwan is also in the correct direction, according to the text, as eastern but outside Bethlehem. This spring was supposedly known to a young shepherd boy partial to the water there. Any Canaanites remaining there enjoyed the privileges living in peace among the subsequent Jewish residents of the kingdoms of David and Solomon, submitting to their rule, it should be noted.
