David Takes Jerusalem (1CH 11:4-9)

[11:4] And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

[11:5] The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David.

[11:6] David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

[11:7] And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.

[11:8] And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

[11:9] And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
