The Jebusites told David he would never get inside the city, but David captured their fortress of Zion, and it became known as "David's City."
6
David said, "The first man to kill a Jebusite will be commander of the army!" Joab, whose mother was Zeruiah, led the attack and became commander.
7
Because David went to live in the fortress, it came to be called "David's City."
8
He rebuilt the city, starting at the place where land was filled in on the east side of the hill, and Joab restored the rest of the city.
9
David grew stronger and stronger, because the Lord Almighty was with him.
