1 Chronicles 11:4-9

4Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (1that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. 5The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not enter here.” Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David). 6Now David had said, “Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander.” 2Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. 7Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8He 3built the city all around, from the 4Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab 5repaired the rest of the city. 96David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
