Joshua (Jesus) 15:8
"And the borders go up to the valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley of Ennom toward the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain northward."
Joshua 18:28—Was Jerusalem in the territory of Benjamin or in Judah?

Problem: Joshua 15:8 lists Jerusalem in Judah, but Joshua 18:28 says it is in Benjamin.
Solution: Both are true. Some scholars also point to a Jewish tradition that held the altars and sanctuary were in Benjamin, while the courts of the temple were in Judah. Be that as it may, the city was actually within the limits of Benjamin’s territory, but it was also on the border of Judah’s land. So it may properly be described as being part of both.
