I deemed it was the Mycenaean Greek Philistines who originally named it ieros ulhm = sacred forest.

However the authors of the Hebrew Bible seem to want everyone to believe that it was named as IER SLMH = city of Solomon.

EIR = city Genesis 4:17
SLM = Salem (city) Genesis 14:18
IROSLIM = Jerusalem Joshua 10:1
SLMH = Solomah vs Solomon 2 Samuel 5:14

Hence Solomon (or Shlomo for those that are a bit short) is said to have built a hall of wooden pillars, which in effects make the first temple a sacred forest.

But the real question should be, what made the environs of Jerusalem so sacred to the Philistines?

As the Hebrew Bible puts Hiram as king of Tyre who supplies cedar wood for building works at Jerusalem, it does not mention that Tyre had long been ruled by Philistines from Askalon. However no other connection is made in the Hebrew Bible between the names XIRM and IROSLIM

XIRM = Hiram2 Samuel 5:11 (David), 1 Kings 5:1 (Solomon)
