1 Chronicles 11:7 In-Context

5 The inhabitants of Yevus said to David, You shall not come in here. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Tziyon; the same is the city of David.

6 David said, Whoever strikes the Yevusi first shall be chief and captain. Yo'av the son of Tzeru'yah went up first, and was made chief.

7 David lived in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

8 He built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Yo'av repaired the rest of the city.

9 David grew greater and greater; for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
