Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.
4
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5

6
And David said , Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up , and was chief.
