1 Chronicles 11:6-8
New Living Translation
6 David had said to his troops, “Whoever is first to attack the Jebusites will become the commander of my armies!” And Joab, the son of David’s sister Zeruiah, was first to attack, so he became the commander of David’s armies.
7 David made the fortress his home, and that is why it is called the City of David. 8 He extended the city from the supporting terraces[a] to the surrounding area, while Joab rebuilt the rest of Jerusalem.
