1 Chronicles 11:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ David moved into the fort. So it was called the City of David. ⁸ He built up the city around the fort. He filled in the low places. He built a wall around it. During that time, Joab built up the rest of the city. ⁹ David became more and more powerful. That’s because the Lord who rules over all was with him.
