1 Chronicles 11:4-6

New Catholic Bible

David Conquers Jerusalem. ⁴ David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus. The Jebusites were the inhabitants of that land. ⁵ The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will never enter.” Nevertheless, David captured the citadel of Zion, that is, the City of David. ⁶ David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will be the commander-in-chief.” Joab, the son of Zeruiah, led it so he became the commander.
