1 Chronicles 11:8 In-Context

6 Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
8 He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
10 Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
