5
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.
6
And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.
7
And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.
8
And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9
And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.
