5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which is the city of David.

6 And David said , Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up , and was chief.

7 And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called it the city of David.

9 So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of hosts was with him.
