1 Chronicles 11:8

8 David fortified the city all the way around, both the outer bulwarks (the Millo) and the outside wall. Joab rebuilt the city gates.

1 Chronicles 11:8 In-Context

6 David had said, "The first person to kill a Jebusite will be commander-in-chief." Joab son of Zeruiah was the first; and he became the chief.
7 David took up residence in the fortress city; that's how it got its name, "City of David."
8 David fortified the city all the way around, both the outer bulwarks (the Millo) and the outside wall. Joab rebuilt the city gates.
9 David's stride became longer, his embrace larger - yes, God-of-the-Angel-Armies was with him!
10 These are the chiefs of David's Mighty Men, the ones who linked arms with him as he took up his kingship, with all Israel joining in, helping him become king in just the way God had spoken regarding Israel.
