1 Chronicles 11:1-9
1Then all IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselves to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320. 2In times past, even when SaulH7586 wasH1961 kingH4428, it wasH1961 thou that leddest out and broughtest in IsraelH3478: and Jehovah thy GodH430 saidH559 unto thee, Thou shalt beH1961 shepherdH7462 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt beH1961 princeH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 3So all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 before Jehovah; and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah by SamuelH8050.
4And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 went to JerusalemH3389 (the same is JebusH2982); and the Jebusites, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, were there. 5And the inhabitantsH3427 of JebusH2982 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt not comeH935 in hither. Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the stronghold of ZionH6726; the same is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 6And DavidH1732 saidH559, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites firstH7223 shall beH1961 chiefH7218 and captain. And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 wentH5927 up firstH7223, and wasH1961 made chiefH7218. 7And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the strongholdH4679; thereforeH3651 they calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8And he builtH1129 the cityH5892 roundH5439 about, from MilloH4407 even roundH5439 about; and JoabH3097 repaired the restH7605 of the cityH5892. 9And DavidH1732 waxed greaterH1419 and greaterH1419; for Jehovah of hostsH6635 was with him.
