1 Chronicles 11:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Jerusalem, Capital City

⁴ Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (^(A)that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. ⁵ The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not enter here.” Nevertheless David captured the stronghold of Zion (that is, the city of David). ⁶ Now David had said, “Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander.” ^(B)Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.
