1 Chronicles 11:1-9

1Then all IsraelH3478 gatheredH6908 themselves to DavidH1732 unto HebronH2275, sayingH559, Behold, we are thy boneH6106 and thy fleshH1320. 2And moreover in timeH8543 pastH8032, even when SaulH7586 was kingH4428, thou wast he that leddest outH3318 and broughtest inH935 IsraelH3478: And YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 saidH559 unto thee, Thou shalt feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and thou shalt be rulerH5057 over my peopleH1571 IsraelH3478.12 3Therefore cameH935 all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 to the kingH4428 to HebronH2275; and DavidH1732 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them in HebronH2275 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068; and they anointedH4886 DavidH1732 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, according to the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 byH3027 SamuelH8050.3

4And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 wentH3212 to JerusalemH3389, which is JebusH2982; where the JebusitesH2983 were, the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 5And the inhabitantsH3427 of JebusH2982 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou shalt not comeH935 hither. Nevertheless DavidH1732 tookH3920 the castleH4686 of ZionH6726, which is the cityH5892 of DavidH1732. 6And DavidH1732 saidH559, Whosoever smitethH5221 the JebusitesH2983 firstH7223 shall be chiefH7218 and captainH8269. So JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 wentH5927 firstH7223 upH5927, and was chiefH7218.4 7And DavidH1732 dweltH3427 in the castleH4679; therefore they calledH7121 it the cityH5892 of DavidH1732.5 8And he builtH1129 the cityH5892 round aboutH5439, even from MilloH4407 round aboutH5439: and JoabH3097 repairedH2421 the restH7605 of the cityH5892.6 9So DavidH1732 waxedH3212 greaterH1980 and greaterH1419: for YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 was with him.7
