1 Chronicles 11:4-9

Common English Bible CEB

4 Then David and all Israel marched to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites lived.

5 The people who lived in Jebus told David, "You'll never get in here!" But David captured the mountain fortress of Zion, which became David's City.

6 David had said, "The first one to kill a Jebusite will become commander in chief!" Joab, Zeruiah's son, was the first to attack and so became commander in chief.

7 David occupied the fortress, so it was renamed David's City.

8 He also built up the city on all sides, including its own foundations and the surrounding areas, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 David grew increasingly powerful, and the LORD of heavenly forces was with him.

New International Version NIV

4 David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites who lived there

5 said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.

6 David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander-in-chief.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.

7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David.

8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.

9 And David became more and more powerful, because the LORD Almighty was with him.
