1 Chronicles 11:1-9

1Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh. 2And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: And Yhwh thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.12 3Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yhwh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yhwh by Samuel.3

4And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. 5And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David. 6And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.4 7And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.5 8And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.6 9So David waxed greater and greater: for Yhwh of Armies was with him.7
