1 Chronicles 11:7 In-Context
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.
8
He built the city all around, from the Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9
David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.
