1 Chronicles 11:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

David Captures Jerusalem

⁴ David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites were living in that part of the land. ⁵ Those living in Jebus said to David, “You will not get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the stronghold of Zion, which became the City of David. ⁶ David had said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first will become the head and commander.” Joab son of Zeruiah went up first and became the head.
