Read 1 Chronicles 11 in full →David Captures Jerusalem
4Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (athat is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. 5Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, that is, the city of David. 6And David said, “Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander.” aJoab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. 7Then David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. 8And he 1built the city all around, from the 2Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab 3repaired the rest of the city. 9aAnd David became greater and greater, and Yahweh of hosts was with him.
