1 Chronicles 11:4-9
21st Century King James Version
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “Thou shalt not come hither.” Nevertheless David took the citadel of Zion, which is the City of David.
6 And David said, “Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.
7 And David dwelt in the citadel; therefore they called it the City of David [that is, Zion].
8 And he built the city round about, even from Millo round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
9 So David waxed greater and greater; for the Lord of hosts was with him.

American Standard Version
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. 5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David. 6 And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief. 7 And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David. 8 And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab [a]repaired the rest of the city. 9 And David waxed greater and greater; for Jehovah of hosts was with him.
