1 Chronicles 11:4-9

4David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites were living in that region.

5They told David, “You will never get in here.” But David captured the fortress Zion (that is, the City of David).

6Now, David said, “Whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will be made a general and a prince.” Zeruiah’s son Joab was the first to go ⌞into Jerusalem⌟, so he became the general.

7David lived in the fortress, so it was called the City of David.

8He built the city ⌞of Jerusalem⌟ around it, starting from the Millo  and making a complete circuit. Joab rebuilt the rest of the city.

9David continued to grow more powerful because the Lord of Armies was with him.
