1 Chronicles 11:4-9

⁴Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.

⁵The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).

⁶Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.

⁷So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.

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

⁹And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
