1 Chronicles 11:4-9

4Then DavidH1732 and allH3605 the IsraelitesH3478 marchedH1980 to JerusalemH3389 (that isH1931, JebusH2982), whereH8033 the JebusitesH2983 inhabitedH3427 the landH776.

5The peopleH3427 of JebusH2982 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “You will neverH3808 get inH935 hereH2008.”

Nevertheless, DavidH1732 capturedH3920 the fortressH4686 of ZionH6726 (that isH1931, the CityH5892 of DavidH1732).

6Now DavidH1732 had saidH559, “WhoeverH3605 is the firstH7223 to strike downH5221 a JebusiteH2983 will becomeH1961 chiefH8269 commanderH7218.”

And JoabH3097 sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 went upH5927 firstH7223, and he becameH1961 the chiefH7218.

7So DavidH1732 took up residenceH3427 in the fortressH4679; that is whyH5921H3651 it was calledH7121 the CityH5892 of DavidH1732. 8He built upH1129 the cityH5892 around itH5439, fromH4480 the supporting terracesH44071 toH5704 the surrounding wallH5439, while JoabH3097 restoredH2421 the restH7605 of the cityH5892.

9And DavidH1732 becameH1980 greaterH1980 and greaterH1431, for the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 was with himH5973.
