Divrey Hayamim Alef 11:7 In-Context

5 And the inhabitants of Yevus said to Dovid, Thou shalt not come in here. Nevertheless Dovid took the Metzudat Tziyon, which is Ir Dovid.

6 And Dovid said, Whosoever attacketh the Yevusi barishonah shall be Rosh and Sar. So Yoav Ben Tzeruyah went up first, and became Rosh.

7 And Dovid dwelt in the Metzad; therefore they called it Ir Dovid.

8 And he built the Ir around it, even from the Millo to the surrounding area, and Yoav repaired the rest of the Ir.

9 So Dovid continued greater and greater, for Hashem Tzva’os was with him.
