1 Chronicles 11:4-6

David Captures Jerusalem^(A)

⁴ David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus). The Jebusites were living in that region. ⁵ They told David, “You will never get in here.” But David captured the fortress Zion (that is, the City of David).

⁶ Now, David said, “Whoever is the first to kill a Jebusite will be made a general and a prince.” Zeruiah’s son Joab was the first to go into Jerusalem, so he became the general.
