Context of 1 Chronicles 11:9
7David went to live in the strong place of the city. So people called it ‘The City of David’. 8David built more houses all around it, from the edge of the hill to the city's walls. Joab built up again the other buildings in the city. David became more and more powerful because the Lord Almighty was with him. 10These were the leaders of David's brave soldiers. They helped to make David's kingdom strong, so that he ruled over all the people in Israel. That is what the Lord had promised. 11This is the list of David's brave soldiers: Jashobeam belonged to Hakmoni's clan. He was the leader of David's officers. He used his spear to fight against 300 men in one battle and he killed all of them.
