⁹ And David lived in the stronghold and called it ^(A)the city of David. And David built the city all around from the ^(B)Millo inward.

²⁴ But ^(A)Pharaoh's daughter went up from the city of David to ^(B)her own house that Solomon had built for her. ^(C)Then he built ^(D)the Millo.

¹⁵ And this is the account of ^(A)the forced labor that King Solomon drafted to build the house of the Lord and his own house and ^(B)the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and ^(C)Hazor and ^(D)Megiddo and Gezer

⁵ He set to work resolutely and built up ^(A)all the wall that was broken down and raised towers upon it,^[a] and outside it he built another wall, and he strengthened the ^(B)Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance.

²⁷ And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king. ^(A)Solomon built the Millo, and closed up the breach of the city of David his father.

⁷ Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, ^(A)that is, the city of David.

⁸ And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

²⁰ But if not, ^(A)let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the leaders of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the leaders of Shechem and from Beth-millo and devour Abimelech.”

⁶ And all the leaders of Shechem came together, and all ^(A)Beth-millo, and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar at Shechem.
