2 Samuel 5:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ So David lived in the strong, walled city and called it the City of David. David built more buildings around it, beginning where the land was filled in. He also built more buildings inside the city. ¹⁰ He became stronger and stronger, because the Lord God All-Powerful was with him.

¹¹ Hiram king of the city of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs, carpenters, and stonecutters. They built a palace for David.
