1 Chronicles 11:6

The City of David

4 And David and all Israel ^awent to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, ^bwhere the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

5 But the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here!” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion (that is, the City of David).

6 Now David said, “Whoever attacks the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and became chief.

7 Then David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it¹ the City of David.

8 And he built the city around it, from¹ the Millo to the surrounding area. Joab repaired the rest of the city.
