1 Chronicles 11:7 In-Context

5 And the people of Jebus said to David, You will not come in here. But still, David took the strong place of Zion, which is the town of David.

6 And David said, The first to overcome the Jebusites will be chief and captain. And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and became chief.

7 And David took the strong tower for his living-place, so it was named the town of David.

8 And he took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo; and Joab put the rest of the town in order.

9 And David became greater and greater in power, because the Lord of armies was with him.
