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 took the mountain stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David). 6Now David had said, “Whoever is first to 2kill a Jebusite shall be chief and commander.” 3Joab 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 4built the city all around, from the 5Millo to the surrounding area; and Joab 6repaired the rest of the city. 97And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of armies was with him.
