David Captures Jerusalem

⁴ Then David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (^(A)that is, Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there. ⁵ Then the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion, that is, the city of David. ⁶ And David said, “Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander.” ^(B)Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. ⁷ Then David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. ⁸ And he ^[a]built the city all around, from the ^[b]Millo even to the surrounding area; and Joab ^[c]repaired the rest of the city. ^9 (C)And David became greater and greater, and Yahweh of hosts was with him.
