1 Chronicles 11:5 In-Context

3 So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD ; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
4 Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus ); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.
5 The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David ).
6 Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David.
