Chronicles I 11:5 In-Context

3 And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Chebron; and king David made a covenant with them in Chebron before the Lord: and they anointed David to be king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord by Samuel.

4 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, this Jebus; and there the Jebusites the inhabitants of the land said to David,

5 Thou shalt not enter in hither. But he took the strong hold of Sion: this the city of David.

6 And David said, Whoever first smites the Jebusite, even he shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Saruia went up first, and became chief.

7 And David dwelt in the strong hold; therefore he called it the city of David.
