4
And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that [is] Jebus). And the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, [were] there.
5
And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You will not enter here." But David captured the stronghold of Zion; that [is,] the city of David.
6
Then David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first will be chief and commander." And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first and became chief.
7
And David lived in the fortress. Therefore they called it the city of David.
8
And he built the city all around from the Millo and up to the circuit. And Joab restored the remainder of the city.
