1 Chronicles 11:1-9

11Then all Israel gathered to David at Hebron 2and said, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh. 2In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord your God said to you, ‘3You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be leader over My people Israel.’” 3So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and 4they anointed David king over Israel, 5in accordance with the word of the Lord through Samuel.

4Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (6that 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 took the mountain stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David). 6Now David had said, “Whoever is first to 7kill a Jebusite shall be chief and commander.” 8Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. 7Then David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8He 9built the city all around, from the 10Millo to the surrounding area; and Joab 11repaired the rest of the city. 912And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of armies was with him.
