1 Chronicles 11:6-8
New International Version
6 David had said, “Whoever leads the attack on the Jebusites will become commander in chief.” Joab(A) son of Zeruiah went up first, and so he received the command.
7 David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. 8 He built up the city around it, from the terraces[a](B) to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
