Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the natives of the land were called Jebusites. The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, "You shall not enter here." David nevertheless captured the fortress of Zion, which is the City of David. David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be made the chief commander." Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the first to go up; and so he became chief. David took up his residence in the fortress, which thenceforth was called the City of David. He rebuilt the city on all sides, from the Millo all the way around, while Joab restored the rest of the city. David became more and more powerful, for the LORD of hosts was with him. |
